KBG. CIA. jj angleton ~MOLEHUNT reveals, for the first time, the incredible story of the Central Intelligence Agency's secret search for Soviet spies in its own ranks ~ a witch~hunt that destroyed the lives and careers of loyal agency officers, paralyzed the CIA around the globe at the height of the Cold War, and damaged US. counterspy operations to the present day. David Wise takes the reader behind the scenes and shows what was going on inside the CIA and out of view of the American public under six presidents. He discloses what happened to the victims of the CIA's own ministry of fear, its secret mole~hunting unit that desperately searched for a KGB agent in the CIA whose name began with the letter K. MOLEHUNT uncovers new details of the "war of the defectors" and the interlocking web of spy cases that fueled the search for the supposed Soviet agent in the CIA, creating turmoil not only inside American intelli gence but in the secret services of several allies. Brimming with new information and revelations, MOLEHUNT tells: The story of Peter Karlow, the principal suspect in the mole hunt, who fought courageously for twenty~six years to clear his name, and eventually received close to half a million dollars from the CIA under "the Mole Relief Act" and a secret medal from the director; How Paul Garbler, the first CIA chief of station in Moscow, also fell under suspicion and was exiled to a Caribbean isle to get him out of the way. Garbler, too, was secretly compensated by the agency after Congress voted to redress the victims of the mole hunt; The true identity of FEDORA, a legend of the Cold War. He was J. Edgar Hoover's most celebrated spy inside the KGB, and the FBI paid him $100,000, despite the fact that it could never decide whether he was really working for Moscow; How a KCB defector's claims about Lee Harvey Oswald and President Kennedy's assassination helped to land him in a CIA prison for almost five years; How the Soviet defense researcher who became the United States' most valuable spy inside the Soviet Union during the Carter and Reagan administrations ~ until he was caught and executed in 1986 ~ was turned away three times by an overly suspicious CIA. MOLEHUNT sheds remarkable new light on the secret war fought for decades between the CIA and the KGB. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, that shadow war can now be viewed in an entirely new perspective. MOLEHUNT will help Americans to understand the past that was hidden from them. It pulls aside the veil from the nation's secret intelligence agencies farther than ever before., Books<
