The Imperfect Spy

... the story of the highest ranking traitor in U.S. Army uniform since Benedict Arnold tried to sell West Point to the British

The Imperfect Spy is the inside story of George Trofimoff, an American civil servant and army reserve colonel, convicted in 2001 of spying for the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War. It is a story of betrayal, greed, and treachery at an almost incomprehensible level.· The Imperfect Spy is·a remarkably complete look at the life of a spy, told from both Trofimoff's point-of-view and from the trial record. The author's unique access to Trofimoff's wife's comments, Trofimoff's· writings, and from the author's· personal observation over a five year period, combine to create a remarkably intimate look at a very public event.
