Abstract:
The FBI's expansive investigation ultimately revealed that for more than thirty years - years encompassing such pivotal events as the Korean War, the Cultural Revolution, the Vietnam War, and President Richard Nixon's groundbreaking visit to Beijing - Larry Chin, the CIA's own top Chinese linguist, had been China's top spy. Chin's reports were circulated to China's senior leadership, read by the likes of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping. The methods employed by the intelligence services of China's Communist regime - methods still very much in use today even as the two nations have evolved from Cold War enemies to economic rivals - have never before been so clearly and compellingly revealed to a general audience. Tod Hoffman conducted exclusive interviews with key players in the affair, gained access to previously unreleased documents, and applied his own practical expertise as a spy-catcher to spin a captivating cat-and-mouse tale that is sure to become regarded as a classic of intelligence literature.
