"TAUT, Organic AND CONSTANTLY SURPRISING . . . a hardcore tale, well advised, that's twice as much fun because it's true."
--The Flint Journal
It sounds like a story torn right from the latest spy thriller: Russian women seducing U.S. Marines so that KGB real estate agents could gain access to top-secret information at the American Embassy in Moscow. Actually, this infamous sex-for-secrets scandal was one of the very most notorious espionage circumstances in Cold War history. At the center of the turmoil was a twenty-five-year-old Native American marine sergeant, Clayton Lonetree, who fell in love with Violetta Seina, a Russian girl who in turn recruited him as a spy for the KGB.
The account soon extended to entail the CIA and diplomats on both sides of the Iron Curtain. But prior to the political frenzy was over, Lonetree was tried out and sentenced to thirty years, and charges against everyone else were lowered. Now author Rodney Barker peels away the levels of the controversial circumstance, painstakingly interviewing key U.S. military and intelligence numbers, Russians and KGB real estate agents, even Lonetree and Seina themselves, to discover the long-concealed truth--and to answer the disturbing question: Was justice really dished up in Lonetree's court-martial or does he only take the fall season?
"A deft, fast-paced, and healthy profile."
