Book Review: States, Debt and Power: ‘Saints’ and ‘Sinners’ in European History and Integration

Also, among all the information, Birstein does not cover the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NVKD)/UOO/SMERSH activities regarding the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran during August–September 1941 and the ensuing joint occupation, which was married to a major Soviet intelligence operation during (and after) the war. Overall, however, despite these flaws, Birstein’s account of SMERSH is a highly informative work, well-researched and a useful read for anyone seeking a survey of the Soviet military counter-intelligence machinery during the war.
