A true story about a young man out of college & recently married that wanted to get into a military intelligence position. He had applied but didn't show enough experience--he was into computers and had changed to work and take over his parent's business of providing books and reports the businesses and individuals. These are hard to find or get type things. There had been Russians coming into the business for several years and his parents were providing the FBI with the lists of things the Russians were requesting and were filled out for them. The author met with the FBI on this & wanted to see if he could do more. He approached and basically offered up additional services to the Russian. He developed over time the relationship with the spy and then before the Russian was to be transferred, the FBI stepped in and did a fake arrest of the US man--to show the Russians he was a burned asset. He was basically working as a double agent. Interesting read about how FBI operates and also how the Russian spy did as well.
There are I think 6 WL for this book on PBS so I will probably post & mail off at some point.
