DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed journalist Ronald Kessler takes readers inside the deadly world of espionage and counter-espionage to reveal how Russian agents operate in the United States, how greedy Americans can betray top military secrets with astonishing ease, and why most Russian spies walk away free.
Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly To his surprise, Washington Post reporter Kessler was allowed to interview FBI counterintelligence agents and observe them at work. Kessler also interviewed several convicted American spies, providing "the inside story from the traitor's point of view." In another piece of good luck, he was able to spend five days with one of the most successful spies in history on his home ground of Czechoslovakia: Karl Koecher, who operated inside the CIA for 20 years
James H. Reeves said Great balue!. It was in excellent condition.. Great stories from the cloak-and-dagger world. A Customer Hard-hitting. A cutting look at the personalities behind the legends of counter-espionage. Very interesting when compared to "Spy Chaser" by MI6 veteran Peter Wright. The secret world of counter-espionage and the never-ending "mole hunts" are dizzying. I also recommend "Sell Ou. "Good info. Enjoyable read." according to Meg. I always enjoy Kessler's writing and this book is no disappointment. Even though the cases described are a bit dated they still get the job done; give the readers a peek inside an otherwise closed world.
