Book excerpt: "There were tragic consequences, however. The Soviet authorities thought Berlin was a British spy, and Akhmatova, who was never a dissident, became an ideological enemy. Until her death in 1966 the KGB persecuted her and her family. Akhmatova was convinced that her meeting with Berlin had inadvertently started the Cold War, yet she remembered it gratefully and it inspired some of her finest love poems."--Jacket.
