Robert Lindsey reconstructs the true story of Christopher Boyce and Daulton Lee, two affluent American friends who in the 1970s began selling intelligence secrets to the Soviet Union. The work follows both young men from a conventional life to betrayal, describes their motivations, the methods they used to deliver information, and the investigations that ultimately exposed them, without idealizing its protagonists.
The original edition of the book appeared in 1979; this Penguin Books edition is from 1981 and was awarded the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime in 1980.
Recommended for readers of true crime, Cold War history, and real espionage stories, with a journalistic and biographical approach.
