Widows

Four American Spies, the Wives They Left Behind, and the KGB's Crippling of American Intelligence

de William R. Corson, Joseph John Trento, Susan B. Trento

Four U.S. intelligence agents play a high stakes game of international double-crossing, blackmail and deceit. One by one, they disappear - or die. And no one, not even their widows or the U.S. public, were ever told the truth. Now, for the first time, three experienced investigators present a shocking case, based on hundreds of interviews and years of research, against the U.S. intelligence establishment: a case of incompetence, cover-up and even Soviet penetration. From the Chesapeake Bay disappearance of John Arthur Paisley, a suspected Soviet mole, to the gruesome torture death of Army Warrant Officer Ralph Sigler, here is a harrowing journey into a world of spies and counter-spies, where no one is what they seem.
