About the Book

"Spying in America" presents a history of more than thirty espionage cases inside the United States. Written by Michael Sulick, former director of CIA's clandestine service, these cases include Americans who spied against their country, spies from both the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War, and foreign agents who ran operations on American soil. Some of the stories are familiar, such as those of Benedict Arnold and Julius Rosenberg, while others, though less well known, are equally fascinating. Sulick details the lives of those who have betrayed America's secrets, focusing on the motivations that drove these individuals to spy, their access and the secrets they betrayed, their tradecraft or techniques for concealing their espionage, their exposure and punishment, and the damage they ultimately inflicted on America's national security. "Spying in America" serves as the perfect introduction to the early history of espionage in America.
