Biography & Autobiography. Politics. True Crime. Nonfiction. HTML:The true account of the Nicholsons, the father and son who sold national secrets to Russia. “One of the strangest spy stories in American history” (Robert Lindsey, author of The Falcon and the Snowman).
 
/> Investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Bryan Denson tells the riveting story of the father and son co-conspirators who betrayed the United States.
 
Jim Nicholson was one of the CIA’s top veteran case officers. By day, he taught spycraft at the CIA’s clandestine training center, The Farm. By night, he was a minivan-driving single father racing home to have dinner with his kids. But Nicholson led a double life. For more than two years, he had met covertly with agents of Russia’s foreign intelligence service and turned over troves of classified documents.
 
In 1997, Nicholson became the highest-ranking CIA officer ever convicted of espionage. But his duplicity didn’t stop there. While behind the bars of a federal prison, the former mole systematically groomed the one person he trusted most to serve as his stand-in: his youngest son, Nathan. When asked to smuggle messages out of prison to Russian contacts, Nathan saw an opportunity to be heroic and to make his father proud.
 
“Filled with fascinating details of the cloak-and-dagger techniques of KGB and CIA operatives, double agents, and spy catchers . . . A poignant and painful tale of family love, loyalty, manipulation and betrayal.” —The Oregonian.… (mere)

Hard to believe the kid was that naive.

Sorry to say it starts off not very good, writing-wise, but damn does it get good and very, very interesting. This is the next, very big spy/traitor after Aldrich Ames, circa 1996, and I don't remember reading a single thing about it all. Hugely interesting characters in the CIA and FBI (embedded in the CIA) tasked to catch him.
Finished and delighted with the work itself; an amazing story. ( )

A real life spy thriller that reads like one of the best spy novels! ( )
