BETRAYAL: STORY OF ALDRICH AMES - AN AME

This New York Times reporting team's taut, riveting, remarkably vivid account of former CIA agent Aldrich Ames' treason, arrest and 1994 conviction as a mole for Moscow reads like a spy thriller. Between 1985 and 1993 Aldrich Ames sold out every single agent the United States had in the Soviet Union. By the time of his arrest he had received $2.7 million from the KGB and its successors, and had been promised another $2 million. No spy had ever been paid more, had ever done so much damage, had ever been so incompetent. An amazing story.
