About this item
A legal analyst for NPR, NBC, and CNN, delves into the facts surrounding what has been called the "worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history": the case of Robert Hanssen - a Russian spy who was embedded in the FBI for two decades. As a federal prosecutor and the daughter of an FBI agent, Wiehl has an inside perspective. She brings her experience and the ingrained lessons of her upraising to bear on her remarkable exploration of the case, interviewing numerous FBI and CIA agents both past and present as well as the individuals closest to Hanssen. She speaks with his brother-in-law, his oldest and best friend, and even his psychiatrist. In all her conversations, Wiehl is trying to figure out how he did it - and at what cost. But she also pursues questions urgently relevant to our national security today.
