Code Name Blue Wren The True Story of America s Most Dangerous Female Spy and the Sister She Betray by Jim Popkin

"Code Name Blue Wren" unveils the incredible true story of Ana Montes, the most damaging female spy in US history. As a Pentagon analyst, she duped colleagues and family for 17 years, expertly juggling her role as a top Cuba specialist by day and a covert agent for Fidel Castro by night. The arrest, just days after 9/11, shocked the intelligence community. Montes, with familial ties to the military and the FBI, betrayed her own country with intense personal ramifications.

Jim Popkin, the investigative journalist, delves into the complex tale of two sisters, Ana and Lucy, who chose divergent paths. Exclusive access to a classified CIA behavioral profile, family memoirs, and Ana's incriminating prison letters adds depth to the narrative. Popkin exposes the making of a traitor, labeled "one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history" by top counterintelligence officials.

As Montes anticipates release from over two decades in prison, "Code Name Blue Wren" is a thrilling detective tale and an insider's exploration of the clandestine world of espionage. It intimately probes the dark side of betrayal, providing readers with an enthralling narrative that unravels the complexities of personal and national loyalties. 📚❤️
