Queen of Spies, The: How Ana Montes Became America's Most Dangerous Double Agent

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. She had America's trust. Cuba had her loyalty. For 17 years, nobody suspected a thing. Ana Belén Montes was the Pentagon's most trusted Cuba expert, briefing generals and shaping U.S. policy with her brilliant analyses. She held the government's highest security clearances and had access to America's most sensitive military secrets. She was also Cuba's most valuable spy. While her colleagues saw a dedicated public servant, Montes was systematically betraying every secret that crossed her desk. From her cubicle at the Defense Intelligence Agency, she compromised operations, exposed agents, and fed Havana a steady stream of America's most classified intelligence. How did one woman fool the entire U.S. intelligence community for nearly two decades? The Queen of Spies reveals the shocking true story of the most damaging spy in modern American history. Through exclusive interviews and classified documents, James G. Edwards II exposes how Ana Montes became Cuba's master spy, why she was never caught until after 9/11, and the devastating impact of her betrayal. This is espionage at its most personal—and most dangerous.
