About this listen
Moscow in the late 1970s: one by one, CIA assets are disappearing. The perils of American arrogance, mixed with bureaucratic infighting, had left the country unspeakably vulnerable to ultra-sophisticated Russian electronic surveillance. The Spy in Moscow Station tells of a time when - much like today - Russian spycraft was proving itself far ahead of the best technology the US had to offer.
This is the true story of unorthodox, underdog intelligence officers who fought an uphill battle against their government to prove that the KGB had pulled off the most devastating and breathtakingly thorough penetration of US national security in history.
Incorporating declassified internal CIA memos and diplomatic cables, this suspenseful narrative sounds like a thriller - but real lives were at stake, and every twist is true as the US and USSR attempt to wrongfoot each other in eavesdropping technology and tradecraft. The book also carries a chilling warning for the present: like the State and CIA officers who were certain their 'sweeps' could detect any threat in Moscow, we don't know what we don't know.

A suprise read
As soon as the author started reading my heart sank, the production's awful & he's awful too. I'll just leave that there. The author has also written a fantastic book bursting with lots of techie spook info. Thought this was a great book so don't be put off by the above. 5*

Interesting!
Despite the readers monotone voice, the story heavily covering one issue, and there being too much technical detail, I enjoyed the book!
Somehow it captivates.
Really enjoyed it, thanks.

Drab and hard
The events in the book would have been more interesting if the voice was not so drab and monotone, it lacked passion so over all a very hard listen.
