One evening, while the chief of the CIAÌs Moscow station was filling his gas tank, a stranger approached and dropped a note into the car. The chief, suspicious of a KGB trap, ignored the overture. But the man had made up his mind. His attempts to establish contact with the CIA would be rebuffed four times before he thrust upon them an envelope whose contents would stun U.S. intelligence. In the years that followed, that man, Adolf Tolkachev, became one of the most valuable spies ever for the U.S. But these activities posed an enormous personal threat to Tolkachev and his American handlers. They had clandestine meetings in parks and on street corners, and used spy cameras, props, and private codes, eluding the ever-present KGB in its own backyardÌuntil a shocking betrayal put them all at risk. 541 $d 20161122. 600 10 $a Tolkachev, Adolf, $d 1927-1986. 610 17 $a United States $b Central Intelligence Agency $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Spies $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a Spies $z Moscow $z Moscow $v Biography. 650 0 $a Cold War. 650 1 $a Engineers $z Soviet Union $v Biography. 650 7 $a Aeronautics $x History. $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 0 $a Espionage, American $z Soviet Union $x History. 651 7 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Soviet Union. 651 7 $a Soviet Union $x Foreign relations $z United States. 941 $a 3 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215020512.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808032114.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20170301010548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CFEF4108FE4C11E69FC2E4A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
