19.99 €
This is the first officially verified story about illegal spies, Heroes of Russia: previously, the secrecy classification, removed by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service specifically for this book, was an obstacle. After all, it was they who, even before the Great Patriotic War, voluntarily came to the aid of our country and obtained many secrets for it, the most important of which were atomic. Based on authentic documents, it is told for the first time in which countries the illegals, forced to flee the USA, worked.
The reader will get acquainted with the conversations of Morris and Lona, recorded exclusively for official use, with their friends in intelligence: William Fisher-Abel, Konon Molodoy, Yuri Sokolov, Heroes of Russia Alexander Feklisov, Anatoly Yatskov, as well as with their English and American agents - loyal assistants, will learn who the man was who revealed the secrets of the atomic laboratory in Los Alamos, previously known only under operational pseudonyms.
The book presents recently declassified reports from CIA, FBI, and SIS officers hunting for intelligence agents, as well as diary entries from a British investigator who was investigating the illegals. The author, a three-time winner of the SVR literary prize, is the only Russian journalist and writer who had the chance to meet Morris Cohen in Moscow, and his conversations with him complement the story of the intelligence agents' lives.
