Listen now to get the main key ideas from Jim Popkin's Code Name Blue Wren.
Ana Montes, a top analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency, led a double life as a secret agent for Cuba. Her betrayal undermined nearly every plan devised by US intelligence officials against Cuba from the mid-1980s until 2001. In Code Name Blue Wren (2023), investigative journalist Jim Popkin details how Ana spent nearly 17 years deceiving her country before being arrested in 2001. Popkin delves into Ana’s personal life and her turbulent upbringing, contrasting her choices with her sister Lucy’s dedication to helping the FBI catch undercover spies.
