CODE NAME BLUE WREN The True Story of America's Most Dangerous Female Spy and the Sister She Betrayed

Investigative journalist Jim Popkin takes listeners on an incredible journey through the life of Ana Montes, possibly the most damaging female spy in America's history. Montes, the government's top Cuba expert, worked closely with the intelligence community during the Castro years. She had a top-secret clearance and received awards for her dedication even as she passed classified documents to Cuba. In a matter-of-fact delivery, Popkin presents this true account of the damage caused by Montes's seventeen-year spying career. Her sister, an FBI employee, turned over family documents and personal letters, helping to build the case against her. Throughout, Montes steadfastly believed that she was doing the right thing for Cuba. Her twenty-two year prison sentence ends in January 2023.
