The Main Enemy
The last days of the Cold War were fraught with spies infiltrating either side, hankering after information. Still under the shadow of the Cuban Missile Crisis, these spies rose through the ranks of the CIA and the KGB, and their missions took them from Moscow to Baghdad, Cairo to Prague. In the famous Year of the Spy, one by one, CIA began to lose its spies to counter-intelligence. Milt Bearden teams up with James Risen to tell his story, and the story of his comrades through hundreds of interviews and eye-witness accounts of the age of the spies. Culminating in the events of 1989, and that autumn in particular, this is a book for everyone who loves the thrill of real life spy stories.
