THE FBI ARREST 12 RUSSIAN SPIES...Newspaper headlines, radio and
television networks announced the startling news. A dozen or more
undocumented Russian agents were caught operating undercover within
the United States. This event might well have occurred back during
the last Millennia, and did, but this is 2010; the Cold War has
been over for almost twenty years, or has it? Were we surprised?
After all, the President of the United States had within the
previous week of the arrests, hosted the President of Russia to an
Official State Visit. As this book enters the final publication
phase, I could not have created a more perfect, although factually
unsettling, introduction to the exciting and factual story which
you are about to begin. The most powerful and aggressive
intelligence and secret police organizations in the world have for
centuries belonged to Russia, and during the Cold War, the Soviet
Union. The long and sordid history of Russian secret police
operations and tactics dates back to the 17th Century and Ivan the
Terrible. The Soviets, known for their paranoia and mackorova
(masquerade), frequently renamed these agencies in attempts to foil
foreign interests. The name changes were largely cosmetic and their
foul work never changed. Soviet leaders throughout the Cold War
found it expedient to pit the KGB and the GRU against one another
for maximum benefit of desired objectives. Although the story
herein is one of fiction, perhaps it is more appropriately one of
"faction"--a fictional story derived from factual history, and as
we now know persists today. Herein, I have delved into many of the
factual truths about these two Cold War secret spy organizations,
their sordid and brutal deeds, their recruiting, training and
surveillance tactics, agent operations and exploitation of Western
technologies. Enjoy
