A very interesting and readable book. The tail of the spy is engaging and left me wondering how this could have happened -- and how it may be happening today. I finished the book respecting the spy for what he did for his country but wondering how he could have maintained his supposed love for America and did what he did. No matter ones politics this book shows how easyily one can betray a country and still look like a friend.
