lovelyjanelle13's review against another edition
2.0
Everything was well recorded, citied, and explained, but for a book about the first CIA defector to the KGB, it put me to sleep. Non-fiction are not my cup of tea, I prefer historical fiction: a story based on true events but told with a bit of flare. Reading this though, I can to a certain extent understand Howard defecting, because he felt betrayed by the lie detector test mess up, but also he was never a true patriot, he just craved to be useful and appreciated for it, so when he could not longer achieve that in the US, he used his former connections to be productive for the opposite side.
