This is the full account of Abel's espionage work, his dramatic apprehension, his eventual conviction and its affirmation by the United States Supreme Court, and finally, his surprising release back to Russia. As the authorities hunted down Abel, the FBI had in hand his tools of trade but little else in the way of hard leads. After Abel was located, his modest hotel in Manhattan was staked out by the FBI for over a month before he was eventually arrested and tried for espionage. After his conviction, Abel appealed his case to the Second Court of Appeals. His conviction was affirmed, and the case proceeded to the Supreme Court, which was sharply divided. The cliffhanger facing Abel for the next several years was whether he would face the electric chair, remain in prison for the rest of his life, or be exchanged for an American spy held by the Russians. His fate remained in the balance. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Abel, Rudolf,|d1903-1971. 610 10 Soviet Union.|bKomitet gosudarstvennoĭ bezopasnosti |vBiography. 650 0 Espionage, Soviet|zUnited States. 650 0 Intelligence service|zSoviet Union|xHistory. 650 0 Spies|zSoviet Union|vBiography. 700 1 Chamberlain, Mike,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15499409?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781696611121_180.jpeg
