Show Notes

How does an FBI agent convince a Russian spy to defect? What are the tactics that work, and what are the ones that could get you killed?

For decades, the world was paralysed by The Cold War. But, after the cooling of nuclear operations in the US and Russia, governments seemed ready to ease tensions and find a truce.  

Beneath the surface though, in the high stakes world of spies and espionage, things were far more dangerous.

In the 1990s, Former FBI agent LaRae Quy was deep in the world of covert operations, taking on multiple identities and trying to convince Russian spies to defect, and join the FBI.

Larae joins host Brent Sanders to explain her career in the FBI and dissect what it takes to work undercover.
