520 2  "While getting into his car on the evening of February 16,
       1978, the chief of the CIA's Moscow station was handed an 
       envelope by an unknown Russian. Its contents stunned the 
       Americans: details of top-secret Soviet research and 
       development in military technology that was totally 
       unknown to the United States. From 1979 to 1985, Adolf 
       Tolkachev, an engineer at a military research center, 
       cracked open the secret Soviet military research 
       establishment, using his access to hand over tens of 
       thousands of pages of material about the latest advances 
       in aviation technology, alerting the Americans to possible
       developments years in the future. He was one of the most 
       productive and valuable spies ever to work for the United 
       States in the four decades of global confrontation with 
       the Soviet Union. Tolkachev took enormous personal risks, 
       but so did his CIA handlers. Moscow station was a 
       dangerous posting to the KGB's backyard. The CIA had long 
       struggled to recruit and run agents in Moscow, and 
       Tolkachev became a singular breakthrough. With hidden 
       cameras and secret codes, and in face-to-face meetings 
       with CIA case officers in parks and on street corners, 
       Tolkachev and the CIA worked to elude the feared KGB. 
       Drawing on previously secret documents obtained from the 
       CIA, as well as interviews with participants, Hoffman 
       reveals how the depredations of the Soviet state motivated
       one man to master the craft of spying against his own 
       nation until he was betrayed to the KGB by a disgruntled 
       former CIA trainee. No one has ever told this story before
       in such detail, and Hoffman's deep knowledge of spycraft, 
       the Cold War, and military technology makes him uniquely 
       qualified to bring readers this real-life espionage 
       thriller"--Provided by publisher
