Title: garbage
Review: Did I just spend $(...) dollars for this. This book simply fails to deliver. It spends little time exploring the life and psyche of Philip Hansen, and dwells on useless filler. It provides us with a rather detailed sycophantic account of Louis Freeh. It juxtaposes this idealized picture of Louis Freeh to the dual, hypocratical, and deceitful Hanssen. This is supposed to give this book a pseudointellectual flavor, but instead it bores the reader and falls short on delivering the biography of the worst spy in American history. Lastly the appendix describing the sexual fantasies of Philip Hansen is an egregious move on the part of the author. It does not add to the already incomplete and shallow account AND it also victimizes innocent family members.
Is the review positive or negative?
