Eva had long believed that her father was a U.S. State Department employee. She had no idea that he was handling the CIA's highest-ranking double agent--Dmitri Fedorovich Polyakov--a Soviet general whose code name was TOPHAT. Dillon's father and Polyakov had a close friendship that went back years, to their first meeting in Burma in the mid-1960s. At the height of the Cold War, the Russian offered the CIA an unfiltered view into the vault of Soviet intelligence. His collaboration helped ensure that tensions between the two nuclear superpowers did not escalate into a shooting war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning fifty years and three continents, Spies in the Family is a deeply researched account of two families on opposite sides of the lethal espionage campaigns of the Cold War, and two men whose devoted friendship lasted a lifetime, until the devastating final days of their lives. With impeccable insider access to both families as well as knowledgeable CIA and FBI officers, Dillon goes beyond the fog of secrecy to craft an unforgettable story of friendship and betrayal, double agents and clandestine lives, that challenges our notions of patriotism, exposing the commonality between peoples of opposing political economic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth a gripping tale of spy craft and a moving personal story, Spies in the Family is an invaluable and heart-rending work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did two men on opposite sides of a lethal shadow war forge a bond that would change history?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Daughter's Memoir: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the truth alongside Eva Dillon as she pieces together her father's secret life as a CIA officer after his cover is blown in New Delhi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCold War Espionage: \u003c\/b\u003e Go behind the Iron Curtain with a deeply researched account of the lethal spy games played by the CIA, FBI, and Soviet intelligence across three continents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Ultimate Double Agent: \u003c\/b\u003e Meet the real \"TOPHAT\"--Dmitri Polyakov, a Soviet General who became the CIA's most valuable asset, providing an unfiltered view into the Kremlin's deepest secrets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAn Unlikely Friendship: \u003c\/b\u003e Uncover the astonishing bond between two men on opposite sides of the conflict--an American spy and a Russian general whose friendship lasted a lifetime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInsider Access: \u003c\/b\u003e Based on unprecedented access to both the American and Soviet families, this story reveals the human cost of a clandestine life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eva Dillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062385901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDillon, Eva:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eEva Dillon spent twenty-five years in the magazine publishing business in New York City, including stints at \u003cem\u003eVogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, The New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, and as president of \u003cem\u003eReader's Digest, \u003c\/em\u003eU.S. Dillon and her six siblings grew up moving around the world for her father's CIA assignments in Berlin, Mexico City, Rome, and New Delhi.
