Preview In the Name of Conscience: The Testament of a Soviet Secret Agent

Description:
Translated biography of Nikolai Khokhlov, a Russian spy for the MGB/KGB who defected to the US. He is the only known survivor of radioactive thallium poisoning.
Nikolai Khokhlov was a captain in the KGB, a seasoned World War II intelligence officer and a Cold War spy ordered to organize the assassination of a Russian expatriot in Frankfurt. His defection in 1954 drew international attention and his story was made into a TV documentary and feature film.
He established a new life in the United States, wrote a book called “In the Name of Conscience,” and earned a doctorate in psychology at Duke University.
In his book, Khokhlov detailed the anguish he endured when given the assignment to kill Georgi Sergeyevich. He and his wife discussed how he would get out of the assignment and how they would escape the Soviet Union.
