Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

For almost a decade, Col. Ryszard Kuklinski betrayed the Communist
leadership of Poland, cooperating with the CIA in one of the most
extraordinary human intelligence operations of the Cold War. But
even after freedom came to Poland a riddle remained - was Kuklinski
a patriot or a traitor? In August 1972, Ryszard Kuklinski, a highly
respected colonel in the Polish Army, embarked on what would become
one of the most extraordinary human intelligence operations of the
Cold War. Despite the extreme risk to himself and his family, he
contacted the American Embassy in Bonn, and arranged a secret
meeting. From the very start, he made clear that he deplored the
Soviet domination of Poland, and believed his country was on the
wrong side of the Cold War. Over the next nine years, Kuklinski
rose quickly in the Polish defense ministry, acting as a liaison to
Moscow, and helping to prepare for a hot war with the West. But he
also lived a life of subterfuge - of dead drops, messages written
in invisible ink, miniature cameras, and secret transmitters. In
1981, he gave the CIA the secret plans to crush Solidarity. the
West. He still lives in hiding in America. Kuklinski's story is a
harrowing personal drama about one man's decision to betray the
Communist leadership in order to save the country he loves. Through
extensive interviews and access to the CIA's secret archives on the
case, Benjamin Weiser offers an unprecedented and richly detailed
look at this secret history of the Cold War.
