Interview with Martha

Martha Peterson joined the CIA and became one of the first women operations officers ever assigned to Moscow in the mid-70s. She detailed the challenges of working covertly for nearly two years in Moscow, facing the potential of being discovered by the KGB, as she serviced dead drops and recovered secret packages from a highly valuable agent TRIGON. Peterson discovered that she could move freely around Moscow without a trace of surveillance coverage, unlike her male CIA colleagues who were smothered by KGB surveillance teams.
