The Mitrokhin Archive is Christopher Andrew's account of the KGB's operations in Europe and the West, built on notes Vasili Mitrokhin smuggled out of Soviet archives and hid under his family dacha. It names agents, operations and penetrations across decades of Cold War espionage, and reads more like a thriller than a history. At over a thousand pages it is a reference work as much as a narrative, best for readers who want documented detail rather than a quick spy story. It stands with the major archival histories of Soviet intelligence, and its scale and sourcing set it apart from memoir-style spy books.

Readers treat it as a landmark of Cold War intelligence history, praising the archival depth and the readable, novel-like pacing. The main complaint is its sheer length and the density of names, which makes it slow going for casual readers.
Mitrokhin Archive: The KGB in Europe and the West is a history of KGB operations in the West. It draws on top-secret material that KGB operative Vasili Mitrokhin hid from Russian secret service archives.

The book was co-written by Christopher Andrew and Mitrokhin. It exposes major KGB penetrations throughout the Western world. It covers spymasters, tradecraft and betrayal during the Cold War.
