Why read it?
1 author picked Molehunt as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
David Wise was the dean of American espionage writers, the author of more than a dozen well-regarded books about spies before his death in 2018, and Molehunt is my favorite. It tells the story of the James Angleton-inspired to hunt for a supposed mole within the CIA, an enormously damaging affair that paralyzed the agency for years. Wise’s books are so authoritative because of the unmatched sources he had in the intelligence community.
From Steve's list on accurate non-fiction about Cold War espionage.
