About This Item
Place_Pub: New York: Simon & Schuster, 2001. good, good. 384, illus., notes, index, some wear to book and DJ. The untold story of the badly bungled nuclear espionage case against Wen Ho Lee, uncovered in dramatic fashion by two reporters who followed the scandal from its inception. Wen Ho Lee's wife, Sylvia, was a valuable informant for the FBI and the CIA. As a liaison between American and Chinese nuclear-weapons scientists, she secretly copied their correspondence and gave it to an FBI agent stationed at the lab. Stunningly, the FBI later cited her dealings with the Chinese as proof that she might be a spy. The FBI has denied that "racial profiling" played a role in the case against Lee, a naturalized citizen from Taiwan.
