Amazingly, she was tried in twin trials in two cities, watched riveted as both verdicts were overturned, and waited for nearly two decades to learn her fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the polarized public at the time, the authors--one a retired FBI agent who worked the 1949 case--disagreed about her guilt more than fifty years later. Now, in this refreshed second edition, \u003ci\u003eThe Spy Who Seduced America\u003c\/i\u003e reflects their investigation of polarizing evidence, including fallout from \"unidentified informants,\" which took them from Washington to Moscow. Finally, they located a truth that neither could deny--and in the process shined a light on government actions that are still controversial, and in use, today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a Publisher's Note for this second edition, we find uncanny parallels between this seminal case and today's counterespionage policies--including government overreach, privacy laws, illegal wiretaps, and more. As the \"girl spy\" who seduced America taught us, it's one thing to know something, and another to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rocndog Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735222851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Marcia Mitchell,Thomas Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52733120381109,"sku":"9781735222851","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-spy-who-seduced-america-lies-and-betrayal-in-the-heat-of-the-cold-war-the-judith-coplon-story-9781735222851","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
