The story of the espionage alliance between the US and Poland, beginning in the 1970's & concentrating on the period near the end of Communism in that country and in the decade or so after.

Here the book is strongest, putting lots of emphasis on the players and their activities. After about 200, the book is significantly weaker, perhaps because missteps on the part of the US as well as changes in Poland's government have harmed the alliance.

While I disagree with pomfret's opinions about Poland's take on many issues, the first half of the books outstanding.

From Warsaw with Love: Polish Spies, The CIA and the Forging of an Unlikely Alliance. By John Pomfret

I had previously read Pomfret’s, The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom about the early relationship between the US and China. En excellently thoroughly original and well researched book. I expected the same and was not disappointed.
In this book Mr. Profret explains how to former foes on opposite sides of the Cold War came to work together with the break-up of the Soviet Union and her Eastern European neighbor. What is unique about this story is the first real cooperation between the US and Poland was their intelligence services. This includes spies on both sides who worked against each other now in complete cooperation.
The Polish Intelligence was considered perhaps the 5th best in the world behind the US, Soviets, Israel and the UK; Heady company. Much of the cooperation was new to me including the leading role Polish Intelligence played in the planning of the War on Iraq and safely getting CIA members out of Baghdad. Perhaps more important was the slowness of many countries to change the status of Poland. So Polish Intelligence made a significant upgrade in the US understanding of places like North Korea and Cuba due to their close ties and large embassies in these countries.
Most of the stories are easy to understand and are told in an almost Ben MacIntyre was using individual accounts rather than dry statistics.
All in all, I heartly recommend this book for a detailed account of the US and Polish Intelligence agencies building a cooperative team effort in a rapidly changing world.
