This week we welcome Benjamin
Cunningham to the show. Cunningham wrote the recently released book
The Liar: How a Double Agent in the CIA
Became the Cold War's Last Honest Man a book that the
publisher calls “the Cold War meets Mad Men in the form of Karel
Koecher, a double agent whose shifting loyalties and over-the-top
hedonism reverberated from New York to Moscow.”
It’s a wild story of swapping secrets, wife swapping and spy
swaps.
We talk about the Prague Spring, declassified documents, and interviewing difficult subjects. All that and more in this episode with Spybrary host Jeff Quest.
