Its the 70s and the British Empire is coming apart at the seams; The operation in Hong Kong, a last bastion of the Empire, is being shuttered; in the wake of the Karla scandal, so are most others in the East and Europe. Enter Smiley; back on the track of his nemesis, Karla! If you havent read Le Carres Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, you may want to do so before tackling this book. There are numerous flashbacks in this sequel, and many of the same characters.
Le Carre is the best.
