The Billion Dollar Spy. David E. Hoffman
The Billion Dollar Spy. David E. Hoffman,. 2015.ISBN 9780385537605. Fascinating true story about a highly placed Russian engineer who gave the US the information about Russian advances in radar and airborne systems during the ’90s. This saved the US billions in expenditures on deterrents that would not work and directed US advances to the point that they were singularly superior in the air vs the Russian MIGs and Supelovs. The CIA was beset with cautious leaders during the Clinton years so this individual was initially stymied by indecisions. At great risk to himself, he provided 100s of classified documents to CIA. Eventually he was betrayed by a washed-out CIA agent Holmes and Aimes the Russian spy. Well written.
