Later edition. INSCRIBED BY LE CARRÉ to "Paul," "With affection and thanks, David aka John le Carré." Tinker Tailor Solider Spy was first published in 1974 and was met with immediate critical and commercial success. In a review published in the CIA's in-house journal Studies in Intelligence it was called "one of the most enduring renderings of the profession." It was later adapted into a 2011 motion picture of the same name starring Gary Oldman which was nominated for or won nearly four dozen cinema achievement awards.
