Feb. 15 - Eva Dillon, author of Spies in the Family: An
American Spymaster, His Russian Crown Jewel, And The
Friendship That Helped End The Cold War
In 1975, 17-year-old Eva Dillon was living in New Delhi with
her family when her father was exposed as a CIA spy handling
the CIA’s highest-ranking double agent - Dmitri Fedorovich
Polyakov - a Soviet general whose code name was TOPHAT.
At the height of the Cold War, the Russian offered the CIA
an unfiltered view into the vault of Soviet intelligence. His
collaboration helped ensure that tensions between the two
nuclear superpowers did not escalate into a shooting war.
Recently the Association of Former Intelligence Officers named
Spies in the Family “Best Intelligence Book of 2017.” Eva has
given talks at the State Department, the New York and Washington
DC chapters of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers,
the Canadian Intelligence Service, The Princeton Club, the 92nd
Street Y and the Charleston Library Society.
