The Looking-Glass War is John Le Carre’s fourth George Smiley novel. Set in the early 1960s the cold war is in full swing, and the Department, a holdover from the WWII section of British intelligence, forms an uneasy alliance with its rival agency, the Circus, when it is suspected that Soviet missiles may be in the process of being placed along the West German border. "A book of rare and great power" (Financial Times).
