Sample Book Insights:
#1 The small band of Western spies in Moscow had learned to trust their instincts. They sensed something strange in the air on Sunday, as hard-liners seized power in a coup. The country’s leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, had been detained in the Crimea.
#2 In Moscow, the head of the First Chief Directorate, Leonid Shebarshin, was not one of the plotters. He had warned the new political leaders about the main enemy: the United States. He was frustrated that no one was listening.
#3 The KGB had two spies inside the American intelligence community. The American spy had been active for more than a decade but not even the KGB knew his real name. The pair were not the only spies the KGB had in America.
#4 The CIA officers sent out to spy on the coup began reporting back to their superiors. They realized their KGB minders were absent, and for the first time, they took the risk of meeting contacts quickly on street corners without the usual careful preparation.
