Summary:
"The incredible
true
story
of Ana Montes, the
most

Like spies Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen before her, Ana Montes blindsided her colleagues with brazen acts of treason. For nearly 17 years, Montes succeeded in two high-stress jobs. By day,
she
was one of the government'
s
top Cuba experts, a buttoned-down GS-14 with shockingly easy access to classified documents. By night,
she
was on the clock for Fidel Castro, listening to coded messages over shortwave radio, passing US secrets to handlers in local restaurants, and slipping into Havana wearing a wig... In

, investigative journalist Jim Popkin weaves the tale of two sisters who chose two very different paths, plus the unsung heroes who had to fight to bring Ana to justice. With exclusive access to a “Secret” CIA behavioral profile of Ana, family memoirs, and Ana’s incriminating letters from prison, Popkin reveals the making of a traitor -- a woman labelled “one of the
most
damaging spies in U.
S
. history” by America’s top counter-intelligence official. After more than two decades in federal prison, Montes [was] freed in January 2023.
