520 _aHanssen, a FBI special agent, and Ames, a disgruntled CIA officer, were both recruited as spies by the KGB in 1985. A retired KGB colonel who served as the head of counterintelligence at the Soviet Embassy in Washington, DC, together with a former Radio Free Moscow correspondent, relates these high profile Cold War true spy tales that provide insights into why these Americans turned treasonous and the inner workings of Soviet espionage. Unlike le Carre novels, this includes photos of spies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
