From the spymaster and inspiration for the film Argo: how a group of dazzling but under-supported CIA operatives developed breakthrough spy tactics that helped turn the tide of the Cold War Antonio Mendez and his fiancĂ©e Jonna were CIA operatives working to spy on Moscow in the late 1970 s, at one of the most harmful moments in the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, and tapped their phones. Intelligence work was successfully difficult. The Soviet threat loomed bigger than ever. The Moscow Rules informs the story of the intelligence developments that turned the chances in America’s favor. As experts in disguise, Antonio and Jonna contributed in developing a series of techniques– Hollywood-inspired identity swaps, innovative evasion techniques, and an armory of James Bond-style devices– that permitted CIA officers to outmaneuver the KGB. As Russia once again increases in opposition to America, this exceptional story is a homage to those who risked everything for their nation, and to the ingenuity that allowed them to prosper.
