The entire arch of LeCarre's novels was a fictionalized redemption of MI6 after their real life getting BTFOd by Kim Philby and the Cambridge ring.

Our Man in Havana will always be one of the most-insanely accurate bits of parody of that era.

Thoughts on the 2016 reboot of the Night Manager? I'm excited they are doing a second season 10 years later
