Others deliberately set out to inflict maximum damage in order to destabilize an odious system or organization. Some so-called traitors include German patriots who fled the Nazis, or Soviet intelligence personnel who defected to the West." ; 9.3 X 5.9 X 1.7 inches; 576 pages. Fine+ in Fine dust jacket .
