Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. xii, [2], 301, [5] pages. Footnotes. Appendix. Index. DJ worn, with tears to top and bottom edges of DJ. The author was a former newspaperman and a roving editor for Reader's Digest. A former Soviet naval captain who was stationed in Gdynia, Poland in 1959. He fell in love with a Polish woman, Ewa Gora. With Navy restrictions and Gora's family's anticommunism making marriage appear impossible, the two defected by commandeering a naval launch to Sweden. The Central Intelligence Agency then brought Shadrin and Gora to the United States. Shadrin's information proved particularly useful to the Office of Naval Intelligence. Working with the ONI under new identities, Shadrin gained an M.A. and Ph.D. in engineering, and Gora opened a dental practice. Shadrin was engaged in various counter-intelligence assignments during the Cold War after being approached by the KGB in 1966. He disappeared on assignment in Vienna, Austria in December 1975, apparently kidnapped by KGB agents. Later, Oleg Kalugin stated that Shadrin had died an accidental death during the kidnapping, apparently of a heart attack. This intensely moving human drama-a true story of adventure, intrigue, love and devotion. It is a riveting picture of the dark world of espionage and intelligence. When U. S. intelligence officials asked Nicholas Shadrin to become a spy, he refused. A former Soviet naval captain who had defected years before, he was now an American citizen and happily married. For close to a year he continued to refuse requests that he become a double agent. Only when one of the highest officials in U. S. intelligence exerted pressure on him did Shadrin agree to undertake the assignment. For years Shadrin played the nerve-racking role of double agent, in the belief that he was serving his country. He was actually a pawn in a game of espionage that was far more dangerous than he imagined. Then, while on a mysterious assignment in Vienna, Shadrin disappeared. When his frantic wife and friends tried to find out what had happened to him they met up with a wall of official indifference, obfuscation and deceit. That was only the beginning of Ewa Shadrin's long nightmare of government rebuffs, denials and misdirection-a deliberate program to conceal Nick's unwitting role in one of the strangest cases in the history of espionage.
