A Special Agent Indeed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
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.
