Description: • For your consideration: • A LIKE NEW / SEALED 2-Cassette Audiobook of: • “DANCING WITH THE DEVIL: Sex, Espionage, and the U.S. Marines: The CLAYTON LONETREE Story” • AUTHOR: RODNEY BARKER • READER | NARRATOR: WILL PATTON • ABOUT THE READER: “A celebrated actor in films ranging from THE CLIENT to NO WAY OUT and in television and stage. WILL PATTON was awarded two Obie Awards for Best Actor in the Public Theatre production of WHAT DID HE SEE and Circle Rep Theatre’s production of FOOL FOR LOVE [by SAM SHEPARD].”—THE PUBLISHER • ABOUT THE CONTENT: “In this riveting account of one of the most notorious spy cases in Cold War history, RODNEY BARKER, the author of THE BROKEN CIRCLE and THE HIROSHIMA MAIDENS, uncovers startling new facts about the headline-making sex-for-secrets marine spy scandal at the American embassy in Moscow. This is a nonfiction book that reads with all the excitement of an espionage novel. “Although national security issues made the case an instant sensation—at one point government officials were calling it ‘the most serious espionage case of the century’—the human element gave it an unusual pathos, for it was not just secret documents that were at issue, but love, sex, marine pride, and race It began when a Native American marine sergeant named CLAYTON LONETREE, who was serving as a marine security guard at the American embassy in Moscow, fell in love with a Russian woman, who then recruited him as a spy for the KGB. Soon the story expanded to involve the CIA, diplomats on both sides of The Iron Curtain, and the United States Navy's own investigative service, and before it was over a witch hunt would implicate more marines and ruin many reputations and careers. “In the end, charges were dropped against everyone except LONETREE, who after a long and dramatic court-martial was sentenced to thirty years in prison. But so many questions were left unanswered that the scandal would be thought of as one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Cold War. “Not any longer. In the process of researching his book, investigative writer RODNEY BARKER gained access to all the principal characters in this story. He interviewed key U.S. military and intelligence personnel, many of whom were unhappy with the public records and trial, and spoke out with astonishing candor. He traveled to Russia to track down and interview KGB officers involved in the operation, including the beautiful and enigmatic VIOLETTA SEINA, who lured LONETREE into the ‘honey-trap’—only to fall in love with him….” —THE PUBLISHER • “With a novelist’s touch, investigative reporter RODNEY BARKER tells how the misguided love of two lost souls from conflicting worlds rocks the superpowers and unleashes a political firestorm that tragically consumes them both. A wonderful piece of reporting.”—PETE EARLEY, “FAMILY OF SPIES: INSIDE THE JOHN WALKER SPY RING” • “Taut, complex and constantly surprising…a tough tale, well told, that's twice as much fun because it's true.” —THE FLINT JOURNAL • “A deft, fast-paced, and balanced account…. This will be an indispensable source.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS • “What a great book! BARKER did an absolutely superb job on the CLAYTON LONETREE story. I can’t believe how well he documented his view and the trouble that he went through to interview as many of the persons involved as possible including the KGB. LONETREE, at the time of these events was completely immature and incapable of good judgement. Like many other young men, he fell for the KGB skirt and ultimately had to pay the price…. The USMC should have vetted him before putting him in a responsible position. The State Department and CIA were idiots. The only agency that seemed to know what they were doing was the KGB. I wonder if CLAYTON and VIOLETA will ever get together again?”—LAURENCE L. WILLETT, AMAZON REVIEW • “Very informative and well-told! As a jarhead myself I had to read this book. I was captivated by the whole intrigue of the spy world and the involvement of the U.S. Marines. This book is a good recommendation for just about anyone, it even has a twist of romance. I strongly recommend it!”—PETER R. SALAJKA, AMAZON REVIEW • “A vibrant inside view of the agency conflicts that complicated a still-mysterious affair with as-yet-unrevealed connections with the infamous Ames case. Solid fare for sedentary spy masters.” —GILBERT TAYLOR, BOOKLIST • “The sentencing of Native American Marine sergeant CLAYTON LONETREE in 1986 to 30 years' imprisonment for espionage has become one of the nearly forgotten episodes of the Cold War's final stage. In describing LONETREE’s recruitment by the KGB while assigned to the U.S. embassy in Moscow, freelance writer BARKER (THE BROKEN CIRCLE) makes a strong case that the actual damage of the affair was minimal; in fact, improved security measures introduced in its aftermath may have even represented a defeat for the KGB.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLEY •• For other details, please see below. • TYPE: AUDIOBOOK: 2 CASSETTES ABRIDGED TITLE: “DANCING WITH THE DEVIL: Sex, Espionage, and the U.S. Marines: The CLAYON LONETREE Story” AUTHOR: RODNEY BARKER READER | NARRATOR: WILL PATTON TOTAL PLAYING TIME: “APPROX. 3 HOURS” PUBLISHER, LOCALE, & YEAR: DOVE AUDIO (West Hollywood, CA), 1996 ISBN: 0-7871-0668-2 EDITION: First Edition Thus (Implied) CONDITION of CASE: SEALED | LIKE NEW.
