Currently a PBS correspondent and a contributing editor at The Washington Post, Hoffman is the Post‘s former Moscow bureau chief and White House correspondent, and won the Pulitzer for The Dead Hand. In his third book, he recreates the secret Cold War career of Adolf Tolkachev, a Soviet engineer who became one of the CIA’s most valuable spies. This real-life thriller draws on previously classified archives for a narrative of secret cameras, broken codes, and risked lives.
