Eric Haseltine's nonfiction account of NSA engineer Charles Gandy's hunt for a KGB listening device inside the US Embassy in Moscow in the late 1970s. It reads as a spy thriller but centers on technical investigation and bureaucratic resistance: Gandy had to outmaneuver both Soviet surveillance and skeptical State Department and CIA officials. It suits readers of Cold War espionage and surveillance technology history rather than fans of pure action narrative. Compared with classic mole-hunt books, its focus is on the hardware and the institutional fight, and it carries a foreword by former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden.

The Spy in Moscow Station is a nonfiction account of the search for a leak inside the United States Embassy in Moscow. American assets were being rounded up and killed, and the race was on to find the source before more were lost.
The story begins in the late 1970s, when the National Security Agency did not officially exist. NSA engineer Charles Gandy applied for a visa to visit Moscow, and the Russian Foreign Ministry confidently said he was a spy. Gandy avoided honey traps and went deep into enemy territory to carry out complicated technical investigations. He learned more than the State Department and the CIA wanted him to know.
Author Eric Haseltine describes a time when Russian spycraft was far ahead of the best technology the U.S. American arrogance and bureaucratic infighting left the country highly vulnerable to sophisticated Russian electronic surveillance and espionage. The book follows unorthodox, underdog intelligence officers who fought their own government to prove that the KGB had carried out the most devastating penetration of U.S.
