Moscow Winter - Paperback

by Douglas Clark (Author)

The early years of the Cold War found the United States struggling to compete in the espionage war against the Soviet Union. With no history of a peacetime intelligence service, the newly created U.S. Central Intelligence Agency lacked the experience for conducting high-level espionage against the USSR.

Viktor Neiman, a senior officer in the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Intelligence & Research, returns to Europe after serving in the wartime OSS. Teamed with an independent group of expatriate anti-Soviet Russians in Paris, Neiman's network makes a breakthrough espionage penetration of the Soviet foreign ministry and the Soviet nuclear weapons program during the winter of 1952-53.
