The thrilling true story of the race to find a leak in the US embassy in Moscow - before more American assets are rounded up and killed.
Foreword by Gen. Michael V. Hayden (Retd.), former director of NSA and CIA.
In the late 1970s, the National Security Agency still did not officially exist - those in the know referred to it dryly as the No Such Agency. So why, when NSA engineer Charles Gandy filed for a visa to visit Moscow, did the Russian Foreign Ministry assert with confidence that he was a spy?
Outsmarting honey traps and encroaching deep enough into enemy territory to perform complicated technical investigations, Gandy accomplished his mission in Russia but discovered more than State and CIA wanted him to know.
Eric Haseltine's The Spy in Moscow Station tells of a time when - much like today - Russian spycraft had proven itself far beyond the best technology the United States had to offer. The perils of American arrogance mixed with bureaucratic infighting left the country unspeakably vulnerable to ultra-sophisticated Russian electronic surveillance and espionage.
This is the true story of unorthodox underdog intelligence officers who fought an uphill battle against their own government to prove that the KGB had pulled off the most devastating penetration of US national security in history. If you think The Americans isn't riveting enough, you'll love this toe-curling nonfiction thriller.

What I would like to convey is how canny Russia has been at reading and understanding the US. It listened as different US intelligence agencies argued with each other about whether these technologies were important and whether they should do anything about them. Seldom does Russia pay a real price for using the types of spyware described here, or for internet spying and manipulation. Sowing dissention is enough to satisfy the Russians. The 2016 election demonstrates one example of how their interference sowed dissention in our society through technology.
I recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand spy craft as it is, and not as we read it in fiction. I am not an engineer, I am a social psychologist. I understood the book and I enjoyed it. I feel wiser.
What an important book
