Description

In his 4 decades as a KGB officer, Victor Cherkashin was a central player in the shadowy world of Cold War espionage. Here, he provides an insider’s view of the KGB’s conflict with the CIA. In 1985 he scored two of the KGB’s biggest coups. He recruited disgruntled CIA officer Aldrich Ames & became his principal handler, & FBI special agent Robert Hanssen eventually became an even bigger asset than Ames. Here, Cherkashin offers the complete account of how & why both Americans turned against their country. He also reveals the full story behind the bizarre “redefection” of his colleague, Vitaly Yurchenko, & the 1985 exposure of Oleg Gordievsky, the KGB’s station chief in London & a spy for British intelligence.
