| 520 | |a Summer, 1975. Dillon's family was living in New Delhi when her father was exposed as a CIA spy. He was handling the CIA's highest-ranking double agent-- Dmitri Fedorovich Polyakov, a Soviet general whose code name was TOPHAT. At the height of the Cold War, the Russian offered the CIA an unfiltered view into the vault of Soviet intelligence. The collaboration helped ensure that tensions between the two nuclear superpowers did not escalate into a shooting war. Now Dillon provides an insider look at two families on opposite sides of the lethal espionage campaigns of the Cold War, and two men whose devoted friendship lasted until the devastating final days of their lives. | ||
