For those who are aware of it BRIXMIS (British Commander-in-Chief's Mission to the Group Soviet Forces of Occupation in Germany) is one of the most covert elite units of the British Army. They were dropped in behind 'enemy lines' ten months after the Second World War had ended and continued with their intelligence-gathering missions until the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989.

During the Cold Ware Berlin was noted as a hotbed of spying between East and West. BRIXMIS was established as a trusted channel of communication between the Red Army and the British Army on the Rhine. However, they acted in the shadows to steal advanced Soviet equipment and penetrate top-secret training areas. This fascinating book offers a new understanding of the complex British role in the Cold War.

BRIXMIS is an excellent and thought-provoking account of Cold War spying about a little know British Military Mission. For anyone interested in the Cold War era and spying in general this book is a must.
