"Defectors: How the Illicit Flight of Soviet Citizens Built the Borders of the Cold War World" with Erik R. Scott

The book charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies.
