In a surprising number of espionage cases sex has played a
significant role often only in the background possibly as a reason
why a particular individual has lived beyond his means and is in
desperate need of cash. FBI agent Earl Pitts sold secrets to the
Soviets to ease his financial burdens, which came from his
habitually heavy use of male and female prostitutes. Yuri Nosenko
collaborated with the CIA after having misappropriated KGB funds to
entertain expensive women while on official duties in Geneva, and
Aleksandr Ogorodnik of the Soviet foreign ministry was persuaded to
become a spy by his pregnant Spanish lover, an agent recruited by
the CIA. In the realm of human behavior, sex can be the catalyst
for risky or reckless conduct. The A to Z of Sexspionage explores
this behavior through a chronology, an introduction, a
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries
on the secret agencies, operations, and events. From Delilah's
seduction of Samson in 1161 BC to State Department official Donald
Keyser's conviction of passing secrets to Isabelle Cheng, a
Taiwanese intelligence officer, in 2007, Nigel West recounts the
history of sexspionage."
