From Warsaw with Love narrates the remarkable alliance forged between Polish intelligence officers and the CIA during the Cold War, authored by John Pomfret. The story spans decades and continents, beginning in 1990 amid the U.S. coalition efforts against Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. Six American officers find themselves trapped in Iraq with critical intelligence that could jeopardize Operation Desert Storm if discovered by the Iraqi regime. In a moment of desperation, the CIA turns to Poland, renowned for its skilled spies, for assistance. Following Poland's first democratic election in decades, the newly formed Solidarity government dispatches a seasoned ex-Communist spy to rescue the Americans. Pomfret’s gripping narrative highlights the beginnings of intelligence cooperation between Poland and the U.S., which a CIA director later deemed one of the most significant intelligence partnerships in history. The book reveals new insights into the CIA’s black site program in Poland post-9/11 and the involvement of Polish operatives in the pursuit of Osama bin Laden. In a compelling exploration of moral ambiguity, Pomfret illustrates the complexities of right and wrong in espionage. As the U.S. faces the prospect of renewed tensions with Russia and China, these lesser-known events underscore the critical importance of alliances in an increasingly perilous world.
