The Haunted Wood is Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev's history of Soviet espionage in the United States from the 1930s through the early Cold War. It draws on KGB records opened to the authors, including Vassiliev's own notes from the archives, to name agents and trace operations. It is a dense, sourced narrative rather than a spy thriller, and it suits readers who want documentary detail on Soviet intelligence networks. It remains a standard reference on Stalin-era espionage, though later archival work has corrected some of its identifications.
