The Secret Pilgrim by John Le Carré
The Berlin Wall is toppled, the Iron Curtain swept aside. The Secret Pilgrim is Ned, a decent, loyal soldier of the Cold War, who has been in British Intelligence -- the Circus -- all his adult life. Now, approaching the end of his career, he is forced by the explosions of change to revisit his secret years. Ned illuminates the brave past of the legendary George Smiley, his hero and mentor who, in one unforgettable evening, gives back to him the dangerous edge of memory that empowers him finally to frame the questions that have haunted him for thirty years ...
