"Reads like a Hitchcock thriller. A riveting tale of espionage and intrigue with all the twists and turns of both a maze and a first-class mystery novel. Because it's a true story, it will frighten you, fascinate you." --Robert Osborne, The Hollywood Reporter "Marcia and Tom Mitchell, using primary sources, weave a tapestry of treason, espionage, and counterintelligence that skillfully tells the story of Judy Coplon and her battle for freedom. It is wonderful reading and a major contribution to the literature of intelligence." --Hayden Peake, former CIA agent and coauthor of The Private Life of Kim Philby "Masterfully dissected by Tom and Marcia Mitchell, this spy case reads like a fantastic saga of the bygone days: illegal wiretapping, illegal arrests, bizarre prosecutors, fiery and unruly lawyers, and national security breakdowns, all set against the backdrop of the great Red Scare." --Gen. Oleg Kalugin, former Chief,KGB Worldwide Counterintelligence "This thoroughly researched.

American tragedy has the power to embolden We the People to pursue justice,if we read it and learn its lessons." --Ramsey Clar,m Former Attorney General of the United States "The spy case that exposes an entire chapter of American paranoia and mania is full of everything that makes for riveting storytelling. The Mitchells have done a masterful job of responsible, detailed reporting while keeping the reader on edge every step of the way." --Mal Vincent, Knight Ridder Syndication "Well written and informative, a magnificent assessment of the trial of Judith Coplon, the first Cold War spy tried for espionage in the United States." --Francis Gary Powers Jr., Founder, The Cold War Museum.
