Comrade J is Pete Earley's 2009 account of Sergei Tretyakov, a senior Russian intelligence officer who defected to the United States in 2000. Tretyakov ran SVR operations in New York and later described spycraft, recruitment and the workings of Russian espionage to the author. The book reads as a narrative of tradecraft and betrayal rather than a dry history, and it sits alongside classics like The Sword and the Shield and Ben Macintyre's spy books. Readers who want first-hand detail on post-Cold War Russian intelligence tend to rate it highly; those wanting deep political analysis may find it lighter.

Reviewers generally describe Comrade J as a gripping, accessible look inside Russian intelligence through one defector's eyes. Many praise the tradecraft detail and pacing; some note the book leans on Tretyakov's own version of events and can feel thin on outside corroboration.
