Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, and tapped their phones. Intelligence work was effectively impossible. The Soviet threat loomed larger than ever. [This book] tells the story of the intelligence breakthroughs that turned the odds in America's favor. As experts in disguise, Antonio and Jonna were instrumental in developing a series of tactics--Hollywood-inspired identity swaps, ingenious evasion techniques, and an armory of James Bond-style gadgets--that allowed CIA officers to outmaneuver the KGB. As Russia again rises in opposition to America, this remarkable story is a tribute to those who risked everything for their country, and to the ingenuity that allowed them to succeed." -- Amazon.com. 610 10 $a United States. $b Central Intelligence Agency $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Intelligence service $z United States $x Methodology. 650 0 $a Espionage, American $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 0 $a Cold War. 700 1 $a Mendez, Jonna, $e author. 700 1 $a Baglio, Matt, $e author. 941 $a 14 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206010908.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021153.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20211111010446.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061131.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20200213011000.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130011854.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081827.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013810.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20191126030924.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20190810012210.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190802010751.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190726010321.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190711012837.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190521013041.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB1911F07B8D11E99D2AC64597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
