Sample Book Insights: #1 The CIA wanted to talk to a KGB officer named Alexander Ivanovich Zaporozhsky. He had started to drop hints about KGB double agents in American intelligence. The first time the CIA ran across Max was in 1988 in East Africa. He was assigned to the embassy there, and the CIA decided to let him know face-to-face that it would be best to back off. #2 The CIA had been dealing with a conflicted man named Max for years. He was a spy, but he didn’t seem like a typical tight-lipped, ramrod-serious KGB officer. He had heard two double agents were still in American intelligence, and he knew which safe they were kept in. #3 The CIA had doubts about Max’s credibility, and he had every reason to keep them at arm’s length. He had been transferred back to Moscow from East Africa, and when he was asked to meet with the CIA in Moscow, he flat-out refused. #4 In early 1993, the CIA invited its Russian counterparts to Washington for a conference. Max’s name was on the list. The Americans didn’t know why Corbin was there, but they knew not to ask questions.
