David E. Hoffman is a contributing editor at The Washington Post and a correspondent for PBS's flagship investigative series, Frontline. He is the author of The Dead Hand (Icon, 2011), about the end of the Cold War arms race, and winner of a Pulitzer Prize. He lives with his wife in Maryland.
It is the human factor that elevates The Billion Dollar Spy to a
different level: non-fiction as rich and resonant as a spy novel by
John Le Carré or Graham Greene.
*Mail on Sunday*
The Pulitzer prizewinning American journalist David E Hoffman has
had access to CIA files and the result is an astonishingly detailed
picture of espionage in the 1980s, written with pacey journalistic
verve and an eerily contemporary feel ... Essential reading for
anyone who wants to know how the spy mind works.
*The Times*
A fabulous read that also provides chilling insights into the Cold
War spy game between Washington and Moscow that has erupted anew
under Vladimir Putin.
*Michael Dobbs, author of One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy,
Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War*
A gripping story of courage, professionalism, and betrayal in the
secret world.
*Rodric Braithwaite, British Ambassador in Moscow, 1988-1992*
