Last year we suggested a book entitled, “Spycraft: The Secret History of the CIA’s Spytechs, from Communism to Al-Qaeda”. For those who missed it, it is now out in paperback. It was authored by H. Keith Melton, Henry R. Schlesinger, and Robert Wallace and they go into great detail on the long process to get the book approved for publication. For anyone interested in intelligence collection or the gadgetry of espionage this book is a treasure trove. The stories are captivating and reveal American experiences on both sides of the coin; as collector and collectee. I highly recommend it.
“Spycraft” is available from Amazon or many other book sellers.
