Case Studies in Counterintelligence Operations

Since the end of the Second World War, more than 120 Americans have been arrested and charged with espionage. Two have been executed; several more are serving life sentences without hope of parole.

Through case studies, the class will examine, in detail, the careers of the most damaging of these spies.
