Description
"Leaving the American embassy in Moscow one evening in 1978, the CIA station chief heard a knock on his car window. A man handed him an envelope containing details of Soviet military technology research that were unknown to US intelligence. In the years that followed Soviet military design engineer Adolf Tolkachev handed over tens of thousands of pages of secrets, allowing America to reshape its weapons systems to defeat Soviet radar. . . . David Hoffman's compelling account unfolds like an espionage thriller." -- Page [4] of cover.
