'Traitor's Odyssey: The Untold Story of Martha Dodd and a Strange Saga of Soviet Espionage' by Brendan McNally is a review of Martha Dodd Stern's career as a Soviet spy. Despite efforts to inflate her importance, her career was relatively brief and largely unsuccessful. Martha's most sustained assistance to the Soviet Union came from regularly providing confidential memos and letters from her father's office in Nazi Germany. Her recruitment by the NKVD was largely due to her society connections, but her exuberance and lack of access to secrets limited her value as a spy. The book also explores her relationships and affairs with various political figures.
