This short book (131pg) by the russian/french Communist Victor Serge was written while Serge was still in the Soviet Union and had access to the very recently discovered archives of the czarist secret police. Written to help revolutionaries abroad deal with reactionary repression, it details the workings of the Okhrana (czarist secret police) as well as others: its handling and use of informers, its records and quasi-academic approach to compiling extensive information about revolutionary organizations, etcetera. Yet it also delves into the issues of revolutionary repression, and other tactical and political issues that face a revolutionary movement.
