It says he wrote it in the narrative of a Cold War spy thriller. The movie did that too. I get the impression actual events involved far more bureaucratic BS and difficulties in negotiation than thrilling espionage.
I mean, it took place in Russia towards the collapse of the Soviet Union so it was always going to be hard to avoid that feeling right? From what I got from the gaming historians video it had that feel too so it seems like a common way to frame a story.
