Moscow Station is Ronald Kessler's account of how the KGB penetrated the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, including the CIA station, and stole top-secret codes. Kessler, a journalist and author of Spy vs. Spy, mixes documented evidence with his own theories, covering the bugging of the embassy, the seduction and sexual entrapment of young Marines guarding it, and what he describes as CIA arrogance and neglect of security from the ambassador down. It suits readers of Cold War espionage history and intelligence-case reporting rather than academic or memoir readers. Compared with first-person spy memoirs, it is a reported narrative built on interviews and documents, and its blend of fact and theory is the main point of debate among readers.
