Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy / John le Carré. New York: Alred A. Knopf, 1974 (p. 355)

"Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy by John le Carré is an inaction-packed suspense novel about a high-level mole in British intelligence and one man's mission to uncover the traitor and take him down.
The heart of the novel is more about the men in control of British intelligence during this period. The men who were "trained to empire, trained to rule the waves," but found it "all gone. All taken away." That's the interesting part of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. How did England adapt to its new place in the world? What was the realization like for the English as they saw their power diminish?"
