Thatcher meets Gorbachev

When the Iron Lady was planned to meet Mikhail Gorbachev, Gordievsky was the one who was able to prepare Margaret Thatcher for the meeting. Since he had inside information from the Soviets, he knew what was their plan about the interview. What key aspects would they mention and how would the whole meeting play out. He gathered the information, summarized it, outlined the fundamental points and gave it to the prime minister to prepare. The preparation paid off, the discussion with Gorbachov was a huge success.
