Spy tells, for the first time, the full, authoritative story
of how FBI agent Robert Hanssen, code name grayday, spied for
Russia for twenty-two years in what has been called the “worst
intelligence disaster in U.S. history”–and how he was finally
caught in an incredible gambit by U.S. intelligence.
David Wise, the nation’s leading espionage writer, has called on
his unique knowledge and unrivaled intelligence sources to write
the definitive, inside story of how Robert Hanssen betrayed his
country, and why.
Spy at last reveals the mind and motives of a man who was a
walking paradox: FBI counterspy, KGB mole, devout Catholic,
obsessed pornographer who secretly televised himself and his wife
having sex so that his best friend could watch, defender of family
values, fantasy James Bond who took a stripper to Hong Kong and
carried a machine gun in his car trunk.
Brimming with startling new details sure to make headlines, Spy
discloses:
-the previously untold story of how the FBI got the actual file
on Robert Hanssen out of KGB headquarters in Moscow for $7 million
in an unprecedented operation that ended in Hanssen’s arrest.
-how for three years, the FBI pursued a CIA officer, code name
gray deceiver, in the mistaken belief that he was the mole they
were seeking inside U.S. intelligence. The innocent officer was
accused as a spy and suspended by the CIA for nearly two
years.
-why Hanssen spied, based on exclusive interviews with Dr. David
L. Charney, the psychiatrist who met with Hanssen in his jail cell
more than thirty times. Hanssen, in an extraordinary arrangement,
authorized Charney to talk to the author.
-the full story of Robert Hanssen’s bizarre sex life, including
the hidden video camera he set up in his bedroom and how he plotted
to drug his wife, Bonnie, so that his best friend could father her
child.
- how Hanssen and the CIA’s Aldrich Ames betrayed three Russians
secretly spying for the FBI–including tophat, a Soviet general–who
were then executed by Moscow.
-that after Hanssen was already working for the KGB, he directed
a study of moles in the FBI when–as he alone knew–he was the
mole.
Robert Hanssen betrayed the FBI. He betrayed his country. He
betrayed his wife. He betrayed his children. He betrayed his best
friend, offering him up to the KGB. He betrayed his God. Most of
all, he betrayed himself. Only David Wise could tell the
astonishing, full story, and he does so, in masterly style, in
Spy.
