He details how this threat was not just a foreign concern but significantly impacted the security of the United States and its allies. Spivak discusses the systemic organization of these agents, providing examples from Czechoslovakia, where spies were sent in to sabotage and create dissent prior to German invasions, and warns about the more extensive ramifications for democracy and national security if these activities remain unchecked.
