Description
Circle of Treason: A CIA Account of Traitor Aldrich Ames and the Men He Betrayed By two of the five principals of the CIA team tasked with hunting the notorious mole, this book chronicles their involvement in tracking down one of America's most destructive traitors. The authors' personal mission to identify the spy responsible for the execution or imprisonment of Soviet agents led them to a long-time acquaintance and coworker, Aldrich Ames. The book provides details of the operational contact with the agents Ames betrayed, as well as the political aftermath of his arrest, including Congressional wrath and FBI/CIA debriefings following his plea bargain. It is also a compelling story of two female agents who overcame gender barriers to bring Ames to justice in a historically male-oriented organization. This account offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant cases in CIA history, providing insight into the inner workings of the agency and the personal sacrifices made by those involved in tracking down the traitor.
