Michael. The Case of Colonel Petrov: How I Weaned a High MVD Official from Communism. New York: McGraw-Hill, 1955. The Petrov Story. London: Heinemann, 1955. Melbourne, Australia: Paladin, 1989.
The author was the Australian security intermediary in Vladimir and Evdokia Petrov's defections in Australia in 1954.
Pforzheimer, Studies 6.2 (Spring 1962), suggests that at times the author "overplays his own role in the affair." Constantinides is harsher, calling the book "a questionable version of those events, and the author's role in them." This conclusion is buttressed the Petrovs' own account in Empire of Fear.
