Steve Vogel was born in Berlin, where his father, a CIA case officer, served from 1957 to 1962, during some of the tensest days of the Cold War. As a reporter for the Washington Post for two decades, he wrote frequently about military affairs and the treatment of veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. His reporting about the war in Afghanistan was part of a package of Washington Post stories selected as a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize. He covered the war in Iraq and the first Gulf War, as well as U.S. military operations in Rwanda, Somalia, and the Balkans, and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon.
A spy thriller that kept me up all night. Magnificent
story-telling, always clear, every episode meticulously
researched. It's also a fascinating commentary on the height
of the Cold War with Eisenhower, Kennedy and Khrushchev
intimately involved in the skulduggery in Berlin -- Peter
Snow
A super book, beautifully told and compelling throughout.
Vogel sketches George Blake perfectly as a diffident traitor who
combines high intellect with ruthlessness -- Luke Harding, author
of 'Collusion'
