The Looking Glass War (1965) is for my money John le Carré’s best spy novel. It's certainly his most entertaining.

This is the British Secret Service as it really was - bumbling amateurs still living on past glories. George Smiley is a professional and he has to try to clear up the mess.

Plenty of dark mordant humour and an air of pessimism and defeat.
