Sample Book Insights:

#1 The CIA had a spy named Oleg Penkovsky, who had been missing for several months. He had resurfaced to signal that the Soviets were about to start World War III. He had provided the CIA with so much classified information that thirty translators and analysts were hired to work on the material full time.

#2 The American president, John F. Kennedy, was informed by the Soviet Union’s top spy, Georgi Ivanov, known as Penkovsky, of the missile placement in Cuba. This allowed Kennedy to stand up to the Soviet premier, Nikita Khrushchev, during the Cuban missile crisis.

#3 The capture and killing of Oleg Penkovsky was a decisive moment in the history of the CIA as well as in the history of relations between the United States and Russia.

#4 The CIA had many successes recruiting agents and spies throughout the world, but in Moscow, they had many difficulties. The city has always been an ominous destination for an intelligence officer.
