Join us for a gripping look into one of the most damaging espionage cases in U.S. history. CIA agent Aldrich “Rick” Ames, driven by greed and personal ambition, sold America’s secrets to Russia—compromising over 100 intelligence operations and costing lives.
Our special guest, Amanda Ohlke from the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., brings unique insight into the Ames affair, having known several key figures personally.
