A legal analyst for NPR, NBC, and CNN, delves into the facts surrounding what has been called the “worst intelligence disaster in US history”: the case of Robert Hanssen—a Russian spy who was embedded in the FBI for two decades.

As a federal prosecutor and the daughter of an FBI agent, Wiehl has an inside perspective. She brings her experience and the ingrained lessons of her upraising to bear on her remarkable exploration of the case, interviewing numerous FBI and CIA agents both past and present as well as the individuals closest to Hanssen. She speaks with his brother-in-law, his oldest and best friend, and even his psychiatrist.

In all her conversations, Wiehl is trying to figure out how he did it—and at what cost. But she also pursues questions urgently relevant to our national security today. Could there be another spy in the system? Could the presence of a spy be an even greater threat now than ever before, with the greater prominence cyber security has taken in recent years? Wiehl explores the mechanisms and politics of our national security apparatus and how they make us vulnerable to precisely this kind of threat.

Great story with some awesome details from players involved. However sometimes it seems the author does too much retrospective recasting or editorializing of various actions and motivations.

Great but sometimes too much editorializing

The narration by the author ruined this book for me . I couldn’t follow the story because it felt like the entire book was one run-on sentence .
Did the publisher ask the author to avoid paying a professional narrator? Bad idea

Narration is terrible

Intriguing from beginning to end. Hope the USA can prevent this from happening again to this magnitude.

The insight into the operations of the CIA and FBI.

Good story and details we well researched. Presentation of some of the stories were slow or confusing due to too many name drops sequentially. Performance was lackluster. Pauses during the read as if she is thinking of how to emphasize the next word were constant and distracting. Sort of like if someone picked up a script for the first time and read you a part of it without knowing what it was or how it should be read.

Story is good but overshadowed by a lackluster performance.

As a DC resident at the time of Hanson’s arrest, I followed the initial reporting about the case, After he died recently I was curious to learn more details now that so much time has passed, and that’s how I found this book. It was factual, insightful, and fascinating. I don’t understand the other reviewers’ criticisms of the author’s voice. She reports thoroughly, and she speaks like a professional. I recommend it.

Well done

Well told

If we learn anything it’s that fact matter and ignoring them can cause great harm to our country and democracy.

Well written and and interesting lessons learned about the perils of not paying attention to facts.

I was riveted. Reads like a thriller. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Don’t hesitate.

Thorough!

It was engaging enough such that I finished it. Last 3 hours were solid. Before that it dragged at times. Would rather have had another narrator besides the author but she was tolerable. Seemed like good factual research and a relatively compelling narrative. Glad I finished it but it took me awhile.

Decent book

This story is extremely interesting and important. Thoroughly recommend this book. I was shocked at how much was ignored and how often the clues were revealed as to what the problem was and who the spy was. Pretty amazing stuff.

Holy moly
