Code Name Blue Wren: The True Story of America's Most Dangerous Female Spy--and the Sister She Betrayed

CD Details

Code Name Blue Wren tells the true story of Ana Montes, a Defense Intelligence Agency staff member arrested in 2001 for espionage. For seventeen years, Montes had been passing classified American secrets to the Cuban government, which then sold the intelligence to Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. Remarkably, her own sister Lucy worked for the FBI tracking Cuban spies, unaware that Ana, the most successful double agent in the operation, was a family member sharing meals with her. Journalist Jim Popkin draws on never-before-seen material and access to key figures to reveal how Montes became one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history and how Lucy’s investigation ultimately led to her sister’s capture.

This audiobook CD presents Popkin’s account of the espionage case and the family betrayal at its center. A used copy lets you explore this remarkable piece of American intelligence history without the cost of new.
