She brings her experience and the ingrained lessons of her upraising to bear on her remarkable exploration of the case, interviewing numerous FBI and CIA agents both past and present as well as the individuals closest to Hanssen. She speaks with his brother-in-law, his oldest and best friend, and even his psychiatrist.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn all her conversations, Wiehl is trying to figure out how he did it—and at what cost. But she also pursues questions urgently relevant to our national security today. Could there be another spy in the system? Could the presence of a spy be an even greater threat now than ever before, with the greater prominence cyber security has taken in recent years? Wiehl explores the mechanisms and politics of our national security apparatus and how they make us vulnerable to precisely this kind of threat.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWiehl grew up among the same people with whom Hanssen ingratiated himself, and she has spent her career trying to find the truth within fractious legal and political conflicts. \u003ci\u003eA Spy in Plain Sight \u003c\/i\u003ereflects on the deeply sown divisions and paranoias of our present day and provides an unparalleled view into the functioning of the FBI, and will stand alongside pillars of the genre like \u003ci\u003eKillers of the Flower Moon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Spy and the Traitor\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNo Place to Hide\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40827550990433,"sku":"9781639364572","price":14.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31793193.jpg?v=1737653546","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781639364572-spy-in-plain-sight","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
