A master spy and decorated espionage veteran tells of his career as
an officer in the CIA's clandestine service during the last years
of the cold war, starting from his early training through his
senior tours as a chief of station. He expounds on the principles
and practice of clandestine operations, and he elucidates the
interaction between clandestine information and analysis in the
so-called "intelligence cycle." His narrative is replete with war
stories not only about operational activities but about his
struggles with the CIA bureaucracy. This book contains a
devastating account of CIA management as it was in his day, and
debunks much of the public's perception of the clandestine service.
Sometimes amusing and sometimes dead serious, this entertaining
memoir of an American spy's career will fascinate espionage buffs,
foreign policy aficionados, and institutional managers.
