SECRET ASSIGNMENT: THE FBI's KGB GENERAL

(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) A career Special Agent of the FBI concentrating on East European counter-espionage investigations, Edward Gazur was selected for one of the most fascinating assignments of the Cold War: to befriend and debrief the highest ranking KGB defector of all time, General Alexander Orlov. Despite their difference in backgrounds, Orlov and Gazur became firm friends, and the old Bolshevik, who had been resettled in the USA entrusted many secrets to his FBI confidant. Gazur's remarkable experiences are so exceptional that he has been able to cast new light on many well-known cases and make some astonishing disclosures about Orlov. The story that emerges is an authentic insider's account of how the Cold War was waged against the KGB, and the strategy adopted by the FBI to extract more information from the one person whom Stalin feared.
