The Anatomy of a Traitor: A History of Espionage and Betrayal (Unabridged‪)‬

In this compelling investigation, Michael Smith explores the critical moment in a spy's life: that split-second decision to embrace a double life. Through in-depth insider knowledge, he also uncovers new and unknown cases, including ISIS, President Trump's links with Russia and Edward Snowden's role as a whistle-blower to offer compelling psychological portraits of these men and women, homing unerringly on the fault lines and shady corners of their characters, their weaknesses and their strengths, the lies they tell other people, and the lies they always end up telling themselves.
