Like spy stories? Like Espionage? This book is the real thing. A non-fiction account of being a CIA Case Officer in Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Learn about dead drops, car tosses, avoiding surveillance, and more in this real first hand account of an American captured by the KGB in Moscow. I loved this book.
The author, Martha Peterson, was one of the first female Case Officers in the Central Intelligence Agency, stationed in Moscow during the Cold War. She helped run one of the most successful agents of the day until she was captured by the KGB.
The style is very straightforward, just a simple accounting of the facts. It’s easy to imagine, while reading it, that this is how the CIA teaches its officers to file reports.
If you have any interest at all in intelligence or the Cold War, I highly recommend The Widow Spy. Get yours here.
