Trade Paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. Second Printing. 95 Pages. No marks or stamps. Most Americans don't connect spy-vs.-spy intrigue with New Mexico, but in fact, to many international intelligence operatives, the state's name is synonymous with espionage, and Santa Fe is a sacred site. The KGBs single greatest intelligence and counterintelligence coups, and the planning of the organizations most infamous assassination, all took place within one mile of Bishop Lamys statue in front of Saint Francis Cathedral in central Santa Fe. In this fascinating guide, former CIA agent E. B. Held uses declassified documents from both the CIA and KGB, as well as secondary sources, to trace some of the most notorious spying events in United States history. His work guides modern visitors through the history of such events as the plot to assassinate Leon Trotsky, Ted Hall's delivery of technical details of the atom bomb to the KGB, and the controversial allegations regarding Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Dr. Wen Ho Lees contacts with China. The author provides background material as well as modern site locations to allow Cold War enthusiasts the opportunity to explore in a whole new way the settings for these historical events.

Bruce Held has spent the many years in Washington, D.C., filling a number of key roles at the U.S. Department of Energy, including director of intelligence and counterintelligence and a stint â" for most of a year â" as acting head of the National Nuclear Security Administration. During that time, government duty separated him from his wife, Lani, except for his occasional weekend trips to their home in New Mexico.
