Stalin’s Agent: The Life and Death of Alexander Orlov by Boris Volodarsky
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6.6Mb
Overview: This is the history of an unprecedented deception operation – the biggest KGB deception of all time. It has never been told in full until now. There are almost certainly people who would like it never to be told.

It is the story of General Alexander Orlov. Stalin’s most loyal and trusted henchman during the Spanish Civil War, Orlov was also the Soviet handler controlling Kim Philby, the British spy, defector, and member of the notorious ‘Cambridge Five’. Escaping Stalin’s purges, Orlov fled to America in the late 1930s and lived underground. He only dared reveal his identity to the world after Stalin’s death, in his 1953 best-seller The Secret History of Stalin’s Crimes, after which he became perhaps the best known of all Soviet defectors, much written about, highly praised, and commemorated by the US Congress on his death in 1973.

But there is a twist in the Orlov story beyond the dreams of even the most ingenious spy novelist: ‘General Alexander Orlov’ never actually existed. The man known as ‘Orlov’ was in fact born Leiba Feldbin. And while he was a loyal servant of Stalin and the controller of Philby, he was never a General in the KGB, never truly defected to the West after his ‘flight’ from the USSR, and remained a loyal Soviet agent until his death. The ‘Orlov’ story as it has been accepted until now was largely the invention of the KGB – and one perpetuated long after the end of the Cold War.

In this meticulous new biography, Boris Volodarsky, himself a former Soviet intelligence officer, now tells the true story behind ‘Orlov’ for the first time. An intriguing tale of Russian espionage and deception, stretching from the time of Lenin to the Putin era, it is a story that many people in the world’s intelligence agencies would almost definitely prefer you not to know about.

Hunting El Chapo: The Inside Story of the American Lawman Who Captured the World’s Most-Wanted Drug Lord by Andrew Hogan, Douglas Century
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 10.7 MB
Overview: A blend of Manhunt, Killing Pablo, and Zero Dark Thirty, Andrew Hogan and Douglas Century’s sensational investigative high-tech thriller—soon to be a major motion picture from Sony—chronicles a riveting chapter in the twentieth-century drug wars: the exclusive inside story of the American lawman and his dangerous eight-year hunt that captured El Chapo—the world’s most wanted drug kingpin who evaded the law for more than a decade.

Every generation has a larger-than-life criminal: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Dillinger, Al Capone, John Gotti, Pablo Escobar. But each of these notorious lawbreakers had a “white hat” in pursuit: Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Eliot Ness, Steve Murphy. For notorious drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera—El Chapo—that lawman is former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Andrew Hogan.

In 2006, fresh out of the D.E.A. Academy, Hogan heads west to Arizona where he immediately plunges into a series of gripping undercover adventures, all unknowingly placing him on the trail of Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a Forbes billionaire and Public Enemy No. 1 in the United States. Six years later, as head of the D.E.A.’s Sinaloa Cartel desk in Mexico City, Hogan finds his life and Chapo’s are ironically, on parallel paths: they’re both obsessed with the details.

Choosing the Light: Dark Secrets of the Oklahoma City Bombing by Cody Snodgres
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4.3Mb
Overview: This is the autobiography of CODY SNODGRES, a CIA intel insider, who was offered the Oklahoma City Bombing contract and turned it down, but he followed the local story closely as it unfolded. He made the mistake of telling his retirement story to an ATF agent and landed in a maximum security federal prison for the indiscretion. There he met many others who had had been silenced by a corrupt “justice” system designed to railroad federal malcontents. He names names and includes snapshots of press coverage and court documents to back up his claims. This is not just a book about the bombing. It is a condemnation of the intelligence, political, banking and media establishments and those that pull the strings of social control. He has many insider stories to tell about a host of topics. Don’t let the typos fool you, there is meat in these outspoken pages from someone who has the testimony and who paid the price. The last half of the book is appendices of additional articles and court documents redundant to the many images in the body of the book. The full copy of the extra 300pp of appendices is in the pdf format file.

“What follows is a hidden truth. Darkness and Evil exist on Earth, but so too does Light and Goodness. I have walked with the Dark Ones, Learning their secret, hidden ways. Now, I have Chosen the Light. May the power of truth protect Us, and the Angels guide us upon our path. In the End, all paths lead back to Oneness and God.”

Don’t miss this painful and touching account.
