 NOTE: This is the startling, true-life
account of Ryszard Paszkowski,
a Soviet-trained spy who
defected and came to work
for CSIS, expecting Canadian
citizenship in return, only
to have his hope denied.
Since
this book was published
in 1994, many Canadians
have asked about the conclusion. In
November of 2002, Paszkowski
was granted permanent resident
status retroactive to December
1984 by consent order of
the Federal Court.

In 2004,
Paszkowski received his Canadian
citizenship. To read exerts of his

Postscript
To
Lech Walesea,
Vaclav Havel,
Alexandre
Solzhenitsyn
and
all others
who
disturb an unjust peace
It
is not the critic who counts;
not
the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles,
or
where the doer of deeds
could have done them better.
The
credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose
face is marred by dust and
sweat and blood;
who
strives valiantly;
who
errs, and comes short again
and again,
because
there is no effort without
error and shortcoming;
but
who does actually strive
to do the deeds;
who
knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who
spends himself in a worthy
cause;
who
at the best knows in the
end the triumph of high
achievement,
and
who at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails while
daring greatly,
so
that his place shall never
be with those cold and timid
souls
who
know neither victory nor
defeat.
Theodore
Roosevelt, address at Sorbonne,
Paris, April 23, 1910
