   The Fourth Man: The Hunt for a KGB Spy at the Top of the CIA     
   and the Rise of Putin's Russia | Hardcover   
   by Robert Baer   
   Pub: Hachette Books

   Espionage / History / Modern - 20th Century   
   Published May 17, 2022   
      
   "[...] never-before-told story of the thrilling hunt for a KGB   
   spy in the top ranks of the CIA, revealing how spies blinded   
   the US to the rise of Putin and Russia's dangerous future, from   
   New York Times bestselling author and former CIA officer Robert   
   Baer   
      
   "We think we know all the Cold War's greatest spy stories. The   
   tales of America's greatest traitors have been told over and   
   over. However, the biggest story of them all remains untold-   
   until now. Rumors have long swirled of another mole in American   
   intelligence, one perhaps more damaging than all the others   
   combined. 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.   
      
   "Blowing the lid off the biggest spy story in decades, Robert   
   Baer tells the full, gripping story for the first time. After   
   arrest of KGB spy Aldrich Ames, the CIA launched another   
   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 bosses 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. Spies and moles may   
   seem like bygone cold war history, but with Russia again a   
   misunderstood belligerent power, the skeletons America would   
   rather keep hidden are emerging, and as Robert Baer shows in   
   this thrilling masterwork of investigative reporting, they   
   matter as much now as ever.
