American Attache In The Moscow Maelstrom

LTC (US Army, Retired) Roy Peterson served as an Assistant Army Attach in Moscow during the peak of the Cold War Years from 1983-1985. American Attach in the Moscow Maelstrom is a carefully crafted work that opens the window on what it was like to serve American interests in that intense environment. This book is more than reminiscences. As a professional intelligence officer, the author provides instruction on how to conduct overt intelligence collection, insight into the craft of human intelligence collection, historical perspectives, and how act as an attach. Although this is a nonfiction book, parts of it read like a novel.

Roy Peterson is presently (2005) a faculty member of the University of Phoenix, President of TriCrown International LLC, and Senior Executive Vice President of Executive Information Systems and Investment Group. Roy Peterson served in Vladivostok, Russia from 1993-94, as the first U.S. Foreign Commercial Officer in the Russian Far East for the US Department of Commerce, as a Visa Issuing Officer for the Department of State, and as the first Russian Far East Regional Manager for IBM. Roy is a recognized consultant and educator on international trade, marketing, and global business strategies.
