A "devilishly fun" (New York Times Book Review) account of a deadly serious business: the undercover spies and the tactics they developed to survive the Cold War in Moscow, from legendary former-CIA operatives.
Antonio and Jonna Mendez were CIA technical operations officers supporting espionage in Moscow during the dangerous final years of the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, and tapped their phones. Intelligence work was effectively impossible. The Soviet threat loomed larger than ever.

As experts in disguise, Antonio and Jonna were instrumental in developing a series of tactics--Hollywood-inspired identity swaps, ingenious evasion techniques, and an armory of James Bond-style gadgets--that allowed the CIA officers to outmaneuver the KGB.

A remarkable story in its own right, The Moscow Rules is also a tribute to those who risked everything for their country, and to the ingenuity that allowed them to succeed.
