CSPAN2 Book Discussion October 19, 2014
Thank you very much. Its a pleasure to be here. As you can tell from the title of my books, i like to write about secret subjects, preferably very challenging subjects that have consequences for society. I might be perverse because if the subject is too easy, i dont want to do it. This sometimes gets me into trouble. When i did a book called moscow station i revealed a kgb archivist had defected to the fbi. Usually its the cia but this person wanted to defect to the fbi. I knew he was safe in the united states, and nevertheless i heard from inside the fbi that theyd opened a leak investigation...
