Inscribed by the author. The author was an American scientist who for six years led a double life as a spy for Russia and a counterspy for the FBI. Derived from a Kirkus Review: This quiet account of a man recruited by the Russians who kept in close touch with the F.B.I. Huminik, a scientist-engineer who had a small company operating out of Washington, was singled out as an apparatchik, solicited and intimidated into a ""trade agreement."" This covers some three years of his apparent cooperation (interrupted by a trip to the Dominican Republic, during their revolution) and his work for one Valentin Alexivich Revin who offered him $10,000, only gave him an Omega, before the State Department put a stop to it by deporting Revin. Huminik is a man of few words, most of them plain, but his story is true. Condition: Good / Fair.
