Produktbeschreibung

This is a first-person account of how the author found himself, as Moscow Bureau Chief for Newsweek, in the middle of a top-secret hunt for a Russian spy at the highest levels of U.S. counterintelligence. It is also the profile of a former Russian intelligence agent, Vyacheslav Baranov, a full colonel in the once feared Soviet GRU, the world he inhabited, and the extraordinary turns his life came to take after agreeing to spy for the CIA in 1989. This is also a startling portrait of how the United States treats its double agents and the spies who want to come in from the Cold. The book starts on the day Vyacheslav Baranov walked into Powell's office, unannounced, in Moscow. He said he had a story in which Powell might be interested. The author did not at first take him seriously. But over the course of several weeks, and then months, as it became clear to Powell that Baranov was credible, Powell realized that he was in the midst of what could turn out to be a quite extraordinary story. Little did Powell know that he would also end up finding himself in the middle of the highest profile molehunt in Washington since the arrest of Aldrich Ames, one that culminates in the arrest of Robert Hanssen.
