Description

Michal Goleniewski remains one of the Cold War's most pivotal yet overlooked intelligence operatives. In this authoritative biography, renowned investigative journalist Kevin Coogan uncovers Goleniewski's extraordinary life for the first time, revealing how a senior Polish intelligence officer gained access to both Polish and Russian secrets before defecting to the CIA. As Goleniewski grew disillusioned with the Soviet Bloc, he made contact with Western intelligence services and transmitted significant classified information that shaped Cold War operations. This Routledge publication fills a major gap in Cold War history, examining Goleniewski's complex motivations, his dangerous intelligence activities, and his enduring legacy in espionage. Perfect for historians, intelligence studies scholars, and readers interested in the hidden battles between the Western Powers and the Soviet Bloc, this biography brings a forgotten spy's remarkable story into the light.
