Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage In America

This extraordinary book is the first to examine the thousands of documents of the super-secret Venona Project -- an American intelligence project that uncovered not only an enormous range of Soviet espionage activities against the U.S. during World War II but also the Americans who abetted this effort. The Wall St. Journal says, "Anyone interested in Soviet espionage is indebted to historians John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr [who] assemble a coherent, often chilling story of Soviet agents infiltrating Washington's most important agencies, from State to Treasury, and treating closely guarded secrets like items at an all-you-can-eat buffet."
