Summary: How is Russia Now?
Comment: The story is about a spy that literally got away from the FBI - right under their noses. He is now (at least one thinks) living in Russia, which I am sure, does not treat him the same way it used to. Overall I felt the story was interesting, but did not come away thinking this guy did that much damage to the US. He just did not hold a very high position and he left after a short period of time. He was no Walker or Ames. Given this was the case my complaint with the author is that he tried to make the spying this lame did as something more exciting then it was, I am assuming to get more buss about the book. Overall the book is a fine effort, Wise has a lot of knowledge about the working of the intelligence agencies in the US and Russia and he likes to display that knowledge in the book. If you are a nut about true-life spy's then this is not a bad little book.

Summary: detailed but fascinating
Comment: Knowing that a book is non-fiction always adds a greater sense of mystery and wonder, which is certainly true about this account of an American intelligence agent who defected to Russia. It is obvious that the author spend a great deal of time researching every aspect of the subject in addition to the intelligence agency in general. THere are a lot of amazing details about the CIA, FBI, and KGB that are told through this story. Some of the long descriptions may bore some readers, but I found the novel to be very well written and very interesting.

Summary: Facinating-True Life Story
Comment: A factual depiction about a troubled soul, Edward Howard, the CIA and FBI. I particularly enjoyed it because I knew the person personally for a number of years and went to school with some of his relations. He was always somewhat of a mysterious person, always attending college someplace, but now it all makes more sense.
