A Professor's Secret Life Inside the CIA

In 1988, Lester Paldy, a distinguished professor, was recruited by the CIA for a “trial run” to assist them with a challenging new situation in Russia. This supposedly temporary assignment ended up lasting 25 years, during which he faced a variety of challenges, including penetrating secret sites, evaluating potential assets for the Agency, and working to bridge the gap between the CIA and the FBI. Paldy accomplished this by teaching CIA officers and FBI special agents how to approach scientists in a way that aligned with their research and organizational cultures. His presence at the CIA benefited both intelligence agencies, and even after his official departure, he continues to be invited to brief intelligence officers and special agents. The author now offers an invitation to readers to join Paldy on his life-changing journey in his book "No Cloak, No Dagger."
