Shield-Reliable Sword-Sharp (Chekist Georgia To Guard Achievements Of Great October) by Hero Of The Soviet Union Colonel-General Inauri.
Published by the press "Soviet Georgia" in Tbilisi 1985. Hardback with c330 pages. Originally printed in a run of 30,000 at a price of 1 Ruble 45 Kopeks.
This official history of the KGB of the GSSR is a very informative Soviet reference book. It has a number of very good biographies and lots of obscure images. Lots of information rarely touched upon elsewhere. The only drawback is that Berija is completely missing from this book. Rather difficult to be "comprehensive" when the name everyone associations with the OGPU of the GSSR is Berija. Nevertheless worth a read.
