Washington, DC has a formidable history of intrigue and espionage and The Spy Museum, located in Penn Quarter, just a block from Chinatown/Gallery Place /metro stop, captures our culture's unique fascination with the museum's speaker series.

Most notably, The Spy Museum has seized upon the hype the movie Breach created about Robert Hanssen's life and betrayal of his country. Featured speaker David G. Majors, a former FBI colleague and friend of Hanssen's, will be on hand Wednesday, November 28th at 6:30 p.m. to provide a glimpse into the real Robert Hanssen, the former spy's psych and why he is considered one of the most damaging spies in our nation's history. Major will also talk about the FBI's difficulties in uncovering Hanssen's deception and the current state of US counterintelligence.

For all James Bond and Jack Ryan fans, this is a lecture not to be missed. Tickets are $23 or if you join The Spy Ring, $18. To find out how to register, click here.
