More real life RPG inspiration

While reading the font of much geeky knowledge, io9.com, I came across mentions of the Cold War International History Project. They’ve translated a number of diaries kept by KBG spies on their work and the people they tried to turn informer.

This seemed to me to be a veritable font of potential story hooks and idea for any game involving international or idealogical espionage. At the very least the orignal russian notes would make great game props. Check it out.
