I read this to fulfill the "True Crime" requirement for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. It was really interesting and made me want to read more about codes and ciphers.

This was a great spy/thriller with bits where I'd say this isn't believable and then I'd remember it's non-fiction and it DID happen. I especially liked seeing how the FBI really handles thinking there is a traitor and all the information about creating and cracking codes. If you wish you could read more mystery/crime without violence this book is perfect. And I rec to fiction and non-fic readers.

This true story starts out like a spy/thriller movie and I'm 100% here for that. Also keep thinking I'd make the most paranoid spy ever--I wouldn't even trust me!
