Publisher: Random House 1988) First Edition ISBN-10 : 039456281X ISBN-13 : 978-0394562810 288 pages -- Approx. size: 9.5" by 6.25" In spring 1983, Edward Howard was preparing for his first overseas posting as a CIA case officera tour in the agency's most sensitive station, Moscow. In June 1986, he became the first CIA officer to defect to the Soviet Union. Wise, a frequent writer on intelligence issues and co-author (with Thomas B. Ross) of The Invisible Government , interviewed Howard (in Budapest), his family, co-workers, and American counterintelligence officers to prepare this compelling analysis of events and mostly CIA bungles that led to a major U.S. intelligence disaster. The remarkable, clearly told story reveals intriguing snippets of the workings of American intelligence. Exceptionally nice hardcover book with very good dust jacket. Only minor signs of wear to jacket. Book looks unread. Spotless interior. Please see photos, enlarge and email with any questions. Thanks for looking. |
