SUMMARY:Spies\, Lies\, and Soviets
DESCRIPTION:What was it really like to be an American diplomat under KGB surveillance? \nAs a twenty-six-year-old U.S. diplomat serving in Cold War Leningrad\, Daniel Grossman had his phone tapped\, his home bugged\, and his movements monitored by a young KGB officer named Vladimir Putin. Decades later\, he shares these extraordinary stories in his memoir Seeing Red: Spies\, Lies and My So-Called Life as a Diplomat. \nJoin Daniel Grossman\, past CEO of San Francisco Jewish Federation\, and Rabbi Laurie Matzkin of PJCC\, for a firsthand look at diplomacy behind the Iron Curtain\, the Soviet Jewry movement\, and the struggle for freedom that mobilized Jews around the world.
