For the first time ever, New York Times bestselling author and former CIA operative Robert Baer tells the explosive story of how insiders believe a KGB mole rose to the highest ranks of the CIA.In the aftermath of the Cold War, US intelligence caught three high-profile Russian spies. However, these arrests left major questions unanswered, and rumours have long swirled of another mole, often referred to as the Fourth Man. Three pioneering female veterans of counterintelligence were tasked with unearthing him. With steadfast determination and expertise, they came to a shocking conclusion, one which had, and continues to harbour, dramatic consequences for American security.In this gripping insider account, Baer tells a thrilling story of Russian espionage and American intelligence. With profound implications for the rise of Vladimir Putin and international relations with Russia, The Fourth Man is a real-life spy thriller with echoes of John Le Carre.
The book argues that Iran has become a significant player on the global stage, potentially influencing America's future as much as, or even more than, traditional superpowers like Russia and China. It highlights the historical neglect and dismissal of Iran's rising power by the U.S. over the past thirty years, suggesting that this oversight could have profound implications for American destiny.

Strhující kniha Roberta Baera nabízí vzrušující popis fungování teroristických sítí a ojedinělý ppopis kořenů novodobého terorismu spjatého s Blízkým východem. Baer vypráví o místech, do kterých se většina z nás nikdy nepodívá, a o lidech, s nimiž bychom se nejraději nikdy nesetkali. Je to ovšem také nemilosrdná kritika politiky Washingtonu, která podkopávala úsilí CIA čelit hrozbě těchto smrtonosných sítí. Je to obžaloba agentury, která ztratila svůj směr, zapomněla na svoje původní poslání a nezvládla náležitě reagovat na nárůst teroristických organizací typu al-Qa´ida, což mělo mimo jiné za následek i tragické události z 11. září. Robert Baer pracoval pro CIA jako řídící důstojník v letech 1976-97. Působil na mnoha místech - v Íráku, Libanonu, Súdánu, Tádžikistánu, Indii-, a měl tak možnost na vlastní oči sledovat prudký rozvoj terorismu. Je považován za jednoho z nejlepších důstojníků, kterého CIA na Blízkém východě měla. Jeho kniha se stala předlohou k filmu Syriana.
