For decades, while America obsessed over Soviet spies, China quietly
penetrated the highest levels of government. Now, for the first time,
based on numerous interviews with key insiders at the FBI and CIA as
well as with Chinese agents and people close to them, David Wise tells
the full story of China.s many victories and defeats in its American
spy wars.Two key cases interweave throughout: Katrina Leung, code-
named Parlor Maid, worked for the FBI for years, even after she became
a secret double agent for China, aided by love affairs with both of
her FBI handlers. Here, too, is the inside story of the case, code-
named Tiger Trap, of a key Chinese-American scientist suspected of
stealing nuclear weapons secrets. These two cases led to many others,
involving famous names from Wen Ho Lee to Richard Nixon, stunning
national security leaks, and sophisticated cyberspying. The story
takes us up to the present, with a West Coast spy ring whose members
were sentenced in 2010.but it surely will continue for years to come,
as China faces off against America. David Wise.s history of China.s
spy wars in America is packed with eye-popping revelations.

While Wise explores a spectrum of Chinese spying efforts, from Sun-
Tzu's The Art of War to cyberspies, he homes in on two sensational
cases, code-named Parlor Maid and Tiger Trap, that epitomize their
tactics. Parlor Maid was the colorful Katrina Leung, a Chinese-
American double agent who slept with her FBI handlers while stealing
their secrets, and Tiger Trap refers to the FBI's operation to expose
China's moles inside America's nuclear weapons labs. Wise's conclusion
is sobering."China's spying on America is ongoing, current, and shows
no sign of diminishing".and his book is a fascinating history of
Chinese espionage that should appeal to a diverse readership.
