Foreign intelligence services have turned America into their playground. James Bamford reveals how North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and other nations conduct massive espionage operations on U.S. soil while American agencies fail to stop them. The bestselling author of The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets documents cyberattacks, nuclear smuggling, campaign infiltration, and psychological warfare campaigns that target American institutions. Bamford gained access to secret documents, including hidden sections of the Mueller Report, and interviewed confidential sources to expose these covert invasions. His investigation shows how politics, special interests, and corruption prevent effective countermeasures. The result is a nation whose secrets remain exposed and whose defenses have crumbled against sophisticated foreign adversaries.
