The Fourth Man
The explosive, never-before-told story of the ongoing hunt for a KGB spy in the top ranks of the CIA
In the twilight of the Cold War and its aftermah, the CIA and FBI caught three notorious KGB spies in America's Russian operations : Robert Hanssen, Aldrich Ames, and Edward Lee Howard. However, rumors have long swirled of another mole, one who inflicted far more damage. Perhaps the greatest traitor in American history, perhaps a Russian ruse to tear the CIA apart, or perhaps nothing more than a bogeyman, he is often referred to as the Fourth Man.
For the first time ever, New York Times bestselling author and former CIA operative Robert Baer tells the gripping story of one of the Cold War's greatest unsolved mysteries. In the wake of the Ames arrest, the CIA launched an investigation to make sure there wasn't another double agent in its ranks. Led by three of the CIA's best spy hunters, women who devoted their lives to counterintelligence, its existence was known only to a few. They began methodically investigating their own boses and colleagues, turning up loose threads, suspicious activity, and shocking intelligence from the CIA's best Russian asset. In the end, they came to a startling conclusion that, whether true or not, would shake American intelligence to its core, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse game with enormous geopolitical stakes. When the dust settled, US intelligence had no Russian sources of any value by the time of Vladimir Poutine's ascent, leaving the US blind to one of the biggest political shifts in modern history.
With this thrilling masterwork of investigative reporting, Robert Baer blows the lid off the biggest espionnage story in years and one of the most important national security stories of our lifetimes, changing everything we think we know about the CIA, the KGB, and the end of the Cold War.
