		Kuklinski had witnessed how Polish soldiers participated in that aggressive attack, contrary of the patriotic interest of the Polish nation, and to him that was enough proof that the Polish army had finally lost any independence it might have had.
		The CIA said of Kuklinski: "For nine years, in the face of greatest personal danger, Colonel Kuklinski has continued to pass on documentation of extraordinary importance regarding Soviet military forces and plans, as well as the plans made by the rest of the Warsaw Pact.
		Kuklinski said that the day he received that passport was a day of relief, but also bitterness.

		Kuklinski revealed that planning for martial law had begun in late 1980-far earlier than the regime had admitted-and that the Communists had intended all along to crush Solidarity, belying their claim of having negotiated in good faith with union leaders and the Polish episcopate.
		Kuklinski refused and reacted angrily to the prosecutor´s demand, saying that a "retrial in my favor is of no significance to me personally." He had no interest in either a new trial or a pardon.

		In this absorbing biography of an emblematic Cold War figure, journalist Weiser paints Kuklinski as a Polish patriot, his pro-American sentiments motivated by love of freedom, resentment of Soviet domination, and fear that a superpower confrontation would unleash a nuclear holocaust on Poland.
		At times Weiser goes overboard in establishing the point, reprinting at inordinate length Kuklinski's high-minded letters to his CIA handlers and their equally gushing tributes to his idealism and strength of character (the question of how much money the CIA paid Kuklinski is somewhat coyly skirted).
		Kuklinski's story is a harrowing personal drama about one man's decision to betray the Communist leadership in order to save the country he loves.

		Kuklinski's bravery also took an enormous toll on his family, who knew nothing of his activities until a few days before the CIA spirited them out of the country.
		Both of Kuklinski's sons died in mysterious accidents, which he believed were planned, in revenge, by the KGB (although, curiously, this is not addressed by Weiser).
		Kuklinski himself died of a stroke, which his friends think might have been triggered by the renewed debate about his career that erupted just before the publication of "A Secret Life." To the very end, Kuklinski, an honorable soldier, was tortured by the thought that his countrymen still questioned the purity of his motives.

		Kuklinski also was troubled by the use of Polish troops for repression within the Soviet bloc, to end the "Prague Spring" in 1968 and to break Polish strikes in 1970.
		Equally ironic is that, despite Kuklinski's disdain for Gen. Jaruzelski as a tool of the Soviets, public opinion polls in the late 1990s showed a favorable view of the General and a negative view of Kuklinski.
		Beyond the issue of whether Kuklinski is a hero or traitor to the Polish nation [which is fairly raised and detailed by the author], Weiser never loses control of the subject matter, and, of the abundant documentation he uncovered in his unique access to CIA records.
