Все те, чьи судьбы представлены в книге - от флигель-адъютанта Чернышева до полковника Абеля, - входят в тот узкий круг, который сами профессионалы называют коротким словом "элита".Далеко не все, о ком хотелось бы рассказать, попали на страницы сборника. Их время еще не пришло, а если и придет, то очень не скоро. Двести лет существования разведки (в сегодняшнем ее понимании) - долгий срок. Составители и авторы надеются, что им удалось показать, как советская разведка впитала опыт дореволюционной, а нынешнее поколение разведчиков продолжает славные традиции предшественников, защищая нашу Родину на ее самых дальних рубежах.
