Just finished a little light reading 'The Holocaust: A new History' by Laurence Rees. It develops the belief now generally accepted by historians of the subject that it wasn't a long-term premeditated strategy to carry out mass murder of the Jews (and others including Roma/Sinti) but came about largely via individual initiatives that were driven by events.

The Spy and the Traitor by Ben MacIntyre.
The true story of Oleg Gordievski, high ranking KGB officer recruited to work for British Intelligence in the 1970s, who worked under cover until he was betrayed ten years later.
Brilliantly researched by the author, with plenty of political insight and historical context. Gordievski's exposure whilst in Moscow, and his interrogation and escape are breathtakingly tense. I would be surprised if the film rights for this weren't quickly snapped up.
Another excellent work by MacIntyre. I highly recommend this to fans of spy thrillers, espionage, John Le Carre, Cold War etc.
