Rather topical at the time, (in terms of Iraq and its alleged weapons of mass destruction), with its plot of a Russian dissident who passes information to a British agent showing that the USSR's arsenal is completely unusable and therefore the West might as well stop all arms production; this however doesn't fit in with the requirements of the Western political-military-industrial complex so the news is suppressed. This was apparently made into a film a few years ago with Sean Connery in the role of Barley Blair, though I'd cast Bill Nighy in that role (as well as everything else, that he seems to be in at present).
