It details a conversation with a former KGB officer named Cherkashin regarding Cold War espionage. The text focuses on the definitions of 'mole' versus 'espionage source' and details the specific recruitment cases of Robert Hanssen and Ronald Pelton, including the tradecraft used to smuggle Pelton out of the Soviet embassy in 1980.
