Blown Cover

In the rain-soaked streets of Berlin and the corridors of power in Washington and Moscow, the most dangerous war in history was fought without armies.Klaus Fuchs gave the Soviet Union the blueprints for the atomic bomb. Kim Philby betrayed virtually every Anglo-American intelligence operation for two decades while being considered for chief of MI6. Aldrich Ames sold the identities of every CIA asset inside the Soviet Union - and watched them die. These are not the stories of soldiers on battlefields. They are the stories of men and women who lived double lives, carried false identities, and operated in the shadows of a conflict that brought the world to the edge of annihilation more than once.Drawing on declassified CIA and KGB files, defector testimony, and decades of Cold War scholarship, Blown Cover brings together twenty gripping true stories from the secret war between East and West.The Cold War had two fronts. History remembers one of them. This book is about the other.
