Secrets for Sale: How an Insider Blindsided the Bureau
Note sull'episodio
Welcome back to another episode of Write-Handed, part two of our back-to-back spy thriller novels and the final installment of our biography series.
We tackle David A. Vise’s Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative book, The Bureau and the Mole: The Incredible True Story of the FBI's Longest-Serving Traitor. The book meticulously chronicles the dual life of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent and devout Catholic who spent over two decades selling top-secret intelligence to the Soviet Union and Russia. The book also delves into the parallel career of FBI Director Louis Freeh, who worked to modernize and clean up the Bureau.
This breakdown compares the delicate balance between twin narratives, comparing the rigid ambition of Freeh with the deep-seated hypocrisy and compartmentalization of Hanssen.
Tune in as AJ and Kyle bring their signature commentary, literary analysis, and sharp insights to one of the most intriguing true-crime, non-fiction accounts of modern spy history!
