"[Traitors Among Us] surpasses any spy fiction. Herrington weaves his story well: the hours of stalking and investigating, the international legal hassles, and unexpected twists keep the reader on the edge at all times....Highly recommended."-Library Journal
"This interest-holding memoir will engross espionage buffs."-Booklist

From the Author:

Why I chose to write about Cold War spy cases.
Much of what happened during the "Silent War" that accompanied the Cold War (the war of spy vs. counterspy) never saw the light of day. Yet this war was real, dramatic, and yielded its fair share of genuine American heroes and villains of legendary proportions. Telling the story of the struggle between them seemed to me to be an obligation of history, lest no one learn from the sad mistakes that led to the legacy of betrayal documented in "Traitors Among Us." The book is also a great adventure story, made better by the fact that what you are reading is what happened--a rare combination. Good reading!
