Made into a good movie starring Michael Caine and Piece Brosnan. (  ) captgeoff | Jun 16, 2007 | Plan Aurora, hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow, and initiated with relentless brilliance and skill, is a plan that in its madness -- and spine-chilling ingenuity -- breaches the ultra-secret Fourth Protocol and turns the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare. A crack Soviet agent, placed under cover in a quiet English country town, begins to assemble a jigsaw of devastation. Working blind against the most urgent of deadlines, and against treachery and lethal power games in his own organisation, MI5 investigator John Preston leads an operation to prevent the act of murderous devastation aimed at tumbling Britain into revolution. 1  |  rajendran | May 20, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review

Wikipedia in English (1)
Here, a thief happens to discover secret documents outlining a plot to get a very hard left pro-Soviet government elected in the United Kingdom.
With Philby involved, not just by your usual democracy, either, of course, so, fun and games for an MI5 agent who has been involved in investigating this far left sort of thing.
The title of the novel refers to a nuclear treaty.
