Here is a fascinating account of America's most sensational spy cases--told bythe FBI agent who helped crack them. The book offers the high drama behind the FBI's efforts to combat German and Soviet espionage in this country, and reveals much about the inner workings of the Bureau during an era when . . . 'the FBI agent was king'.--Publishers Weekly.
This book is very difficult to put down once started. It amazes one to realize that one special agent, in a 14 year career, was involved in cracking the KGB code, identifying Klaus Fuchs as a spy, and bringing Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and their ring to justice. Robert J. Lamphere's book moves along quickly, and treats the investigations in sufficient detail without becoming dull. And having rubbed shoulders with J. Edgar Hoover, James Angleton, and British double agent Kim Philby, his first person reminiscences are fascinating. This is history that leaps off the page.
