Operation Solo: The Fbi's Man in the Kremlin - Hardcover

Operation Solo is America's greatest spy story. For 27 years, Morris Childs, code name "Agent 58," provided the United States with the Kremlin's innermost secrets. Repeatedly risking his life, "Agent 58" made 57 clandestine missions into the Soviet Union, China, Eastern Europe, and Cuba. Because of his high ranking in the American communist party and his position as editor of its official paper, the Daily Worker, he was treated like royalty by communist leaders such as Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Mao Tse-tung.

John Barron was senior editor at Reader's Digest for twenty years before retiring to northern Virginia in 1991.
