The pocket in question is a small pocket of resistance. A pocket is formed when two or more people come together in agreement.

This is a first-person account of how the author found himself, as Moscow Bureau Chief for Newsweek, in the middle of a top-secret hunt for a Russian spy at the highest levels of U.S. counterintelligence. It is also the profile of a former Russian intelligence agent, Vyacheslav Baranov, a full colonel in the once feared Soviet GRU, the world he inhabited, and the extraordinary turns his life came to take after agreeing to spy for the CIA in 1989.
