520 | _aIn spring 1983, Edward Howard was preparing for his first overseas posting as a CIA case officers tour in the agency's most sensitive station, Moscow. In June 1986, he became the first CIA officer to defect to the Soviet Union. Wise, a frequent writer on intelligence issues and co-author (with Thomas B.
