Spymaster’s Prism is a prescient study of our unending struggle
with Russia and its intelligence agencies’ relentless effort to
undermine our national security. Replete with the most salient spy
stories, covert actions, and counterintelligence investigations
from the beginning of the Cold War up until the eve of Putin’s
misguided march on Kiev, legendary spymaster Jack Devine builds a
vivid and complex mosaic that illustrates how Russia has employed
intelligence activities to undermine our democracy throughout
modern history and lay the groundwork for this invasion. Devine
tells this story through the gimlet-eyed perspective of a seasoned
CIA professional who served his country for more than three
decades, sometimes at the highest levels of the agency, offering
objective and candid analysis that will bring new insight into
Russia’s invasion. Devine offers key lessons from our
intelligence successes and failures over the past seventy-five
years that illuminate how best to address our current strategic
shortfalls, emerge ahead in the war, and be prepared for what’s
to come from any adversary. This cogent study illuminates why
intelligence has been such a key driver in the war and how it will
be a critical lever in order to prevail. Â
In Spymaster's Prism: The Fight Against Russian Aggression
legendary former spymaster Jack Devine aims to ignite public
discourse on our country’s intelligence and counterintelligence
posture against Russia, among other adversaries. Spymasters are not
spies - their mission is to run and handle spies and spy networks.
They exist in virtually all sophisticated intelligence services
around the world, including the more high-profile services like the
CIA, SVR, SIS, MSS, VAJA and Mossad. Without exception, these
spymasters are highly trained and broadly experienced top-level
government officials who are at the heart of the intelligence
business. They make the life and death decisions. The vast majority
of spymasters remain unknown to the world, but there are several
legendary figures such as East German spy chief Marcus Wolf and CIA
Soviet officer George Kisevalter who rise above the fray. To
understand current Russian aggression towards the US, it’s
crucial to know the history of it. Spymaster's Prism sheds urgent
light on Russian intelligence activities by emphasizing the
parallels between tactics used today and those that were employed
during the Cold War. Considering this history, and present Russian
intelligence activities, Devine also provides hard-edged policy
prescriptions for countering Russian hostility going forward.
After William Hitchcock left small town Tennessee to become a CIA
operative and world infamous mercenary he finds himself in El
Salvador stuck in the middle of a mob operated kidnapping ring.
