The Spy's Son



The Spy's Son:  The True Story of the Highest-Ranking CIA Officer Ever Convicted of Espionage and the Son He Trained to Spy for Russia

This is an incredible story about a man who first betrayed his country and then his youngest son. Jim Nicholson had spent his life serving his country first in the military and then in the CIA, so how does he turn from a dedicated CIA agent to selling out his country for money? Author, Bryan Denson delves into his life and tells a story of greed and ego that brings down Nicholson and even more incomprehensible, how he lures his youngest son into helping him hand over secrets to the Russians.

Denson does a good job laying out the facts and creating a timeline of this real life betrayal of Nicholson's country and family.
