The shocking, fully documented expose of a celebrated Amer. philanthropist -- and traitor. He wooed royalty, he made millions, he financed cancer research, and when the celebrated Occidental Petroleum magnate Armand Hammer died in 1990, at the age of 92, the N.Y. Times lauded his bus. acumen and philanthropy in a front-page obituary. The dossier on Hammer tells another story. With access to the files of both Amer.

and Soviet intelligence agencies as well as Hammer's own secretly taped conversations, Epstein lays bare the personal betrayal that indicts beyond doubt the ruthlessly manipulative opportunist who courted Amer. presidents and conspired with every Soviet leader from Lenin to Gorbachev.
