| Summary: |
London's overseas work involved spotting and identifying targets, building relationships over weeks or months, and then pitching them to work for the CIA-- all the while maintaining various identities, a day job, and a very real wife and kids at home. Here he captures the best stories from his life as a spy, his insights into the challenges and failures of intelligence work, and the complicated relationships he developed with agents and colleagues. While a highly readable insider's tale about the state of espionage, the book is also a warning about the decline of American intelligence since 9/11 and Iraq, and what can be done to recover. -- adapted from jacket |
