Synopsis

This is the remarkable story of Aldrich 'Rick' Ames, the last American spy of the Cold War and the most destructive traitor in CIA history. Reporters from The New York Times detail how the CIA struggled for years to uncover the mole within its ranks, baffled by a wily Russian spymaster. The FBI eventually tracked Ames for nine months before his arrest, and their story is told here with astonishing, on-the-record detail, revealing the true history of espionage in the Cold War's final years.
