A career Special Agent of the FBI concentrating on East European counter-espionage investigations, Edward Gazur was selected for one of the most fascinating assignments of the Cold War: to befriend and debrief the highest ranking KGB defector of all time, General Alexander Orlov. Despite their difference in backgrounds, Orlov and Gazur became firm friends, and the old Bolshevik, who had been resettled in Ann Arbor, Michigan, entrusted many secrets to his FBI confidant. Only rarely has the FBI allowed one of its counter-intelligence experts to write his memoirs, but Gazur's remarkable experiences are so exceptional that he has been able to cast new light on many well-known cases and make some astonishing disclosures about Orlov. The story that emerges is an authentic insider's account of how the Cold War was waged against the KGB, and the strategy adopted by the FBI to extract more information from the one person whom Stalin feared.
