Serge "Peter" Karlow

CIA Technical Officer 1947-1963 who was falsely accused of Treason and forced to resign. The allegations against Karlow were made by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn who described a CIA Officer of Slavic background who had bugged a building in Europe. Golitsyn said that he thought that the "Mole's" name began with a "K." In 1988, CIA Director William Webster determined that the charges against Karlow had no merit. He was given an apology, medal and compensation.

Karlow served with distinction as a U.S. Navy Intelligence officer in World War II where he lost a leg in a mining explosion.

Karlow authored, "Targeted by the C.I.A.: An Intelligence Professional Speaks Out on the Scandal that Turned the C.I.A. Upside Down." See, http://www.amazon.com/Targeted-CIA-S-Peter-Karlow/dp/1563116537/sr=8-1/qid=1168614952/ref=sr_1_1/105-4434554-6486842?ie=UTF8&s=books.
