Specificatii
Fool's Mate tells the true stories of two traitors working
different sides of the Cold War. One is an arrogant, lonely U.S.
Army soldier serving in the highly secretive National Security
Agency. The other is an ambitious KGB officer with access to the
U.S.S.R.'s most sensitive documents. Both betray their countries,
but their fates and motivations are very different. At the height
of the Cold War in September 1965, disgruntled U.S. soldier Robert
Stephan Lipka walked boldly into the U.S.S.R. embassy in
Washington, DC. Inside, he negotiated the sale of highly sensitive
National Security Agency documents. The price he demanded for his
treason? A mere four hundred dollars. The Soviets could not believe
their luck. For the next two years, Lipka delivered a steady stream
of important information on U.S. security, before attempting to get
out of the spy game as his military enlistment period expired. The
KGB, however, continued their interest in Lipka for several years,
eventually dispatching deep-cover Soviet illegals to make
re-contact. As Lipka exited the scene, KGB officer Vasili Mitrokhin
planted the seeds of his own treason, which bore unexpected fruit
decades later. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the imminent
collapse of the Soviet Union, Mitrokhin fled to the West, offering
a treasure trove of archived KGB files in return for protection.
Hidden within those documents was incriminating evidence against
Lipka, who was then living a quiet life in the Amish suburbs of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After a lengthy surveillance and sting
operation, Lipka was convicted in 1997. Thirty-two years after
first committing treason, he was finally brought to justice-his
conviction ending the longest-running open espionage case in U.S.
history. With Lipka's adamant refusal to cooperate with
authorities, it remains unclear just how much American blood he
traded for small sums of cash. Fool's Mate reconstructs the Lipka
investigation through the eyes of author John Whiteside, the FBI
Special Agent who led the case from start to finish, telling a
story as relevant today as it was in 1965. With the arrest of ten
Russian illegals in 2010 and the 2013 release of classified
National Security Agency documents by Edward Snowden, Fool's Mate
reminds us just how vulnerable national security is to both foreign
intelligence services and men like Lipka, willing to sell out their
country from within.
