On the brink of arrest, they escaped with KGB's help and eluded American intelligence for decades. Based on extensive interviews with Barr and new archival evidence, Steve Usdin explains why Barr and Sarant became spies, how they obtained military secrets, and how FBI blunders led to their escape. He chronicles their pioneering role in the Soviet computer industry, including their success in convincing Nikita Khrushchev to build a secret Silicon Valley. The book is rich with details of Barr's and Sarant's intriguing and exciting personal lives, their families, as well as their integration into Russian society. Engineering Communism follows the two spies through Sarant's death and Barr's unbelievable return to the United States Berg, Iosef Veniaminovich / 1916-1998 Staros, Filipp Georgievich / 1918-1979 Berg, Iosef Veniaminovich / 1916-1998 fast Staros, Filipp Georgievich / 1918-1979 fast Berg, Iosef Veniaminovich 1916-1998 Staros, Filipp Georgievich 1918-1979 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Espions / États-Unis / Biographies Ingénieurs électriciens / URSS / Biographies Communistes / États-Unis / Biographies Espionnage soviétique / États-Unis / Histoire / 20e siècle Transfert de technologie / URSS.
