He wrote some really great Cold War spy novels, and some of his later work was pretty good as well. Also recognized that the post Cold War era was going to be even more morally gray than the Cold War had been.

Hey, because of this comment I recently purchased a copy of The Looking Glass War and damn, you are right, the book is good, real good. Thanks for the recommendation! I might make a more in depth comment again after I've mulled it over a bit more in my mind, but I can say now that I really enjoyed the skewering of the spy genre. It is great satire: a lot of laugh out loud moments (from the pure bumbling incompetence), but also some profound sadness too. Solid stuff.
