520 |a "As the first agent to publicly betray the CIA, Philip Agee was on the run for over forty years--a pariah akin to Edward Snowden. Agee revealed in spectacular detail what many had feared about the CIA's actions, but he also outed and endangered hundreds of agents.

In this first biography of Agee, Stevenson will reveal what made Agee tick, and what made him run"--  |c Provided by publisher.
