Investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein defines the seldom seen universe of intelligence and counterintelligence.Set in the era of the Cold War, it explores the ultimate art of nations: Winning without fighting, or, in a single word, deception. It concerns, as James Jesus Angleton described it to the author, " a state of mind —and the mind of the state." With a new Preface (2014) Praise For Edward Jay Epstein “Epstein delves deep into the wheels-within-wheels of superpower intelligence and counterintelligence, showing ways in which the CIA and the KGB have been "provoked, seduced, lured into false trails, blinded, and turned into unwitting agents." Readers will find new information here on a multitude of subjects: programs involving CIA-written books published under defectors' names; the story of Yuri Nosenko, a KGB officer who defected in 1963 and was "at the heart of everything that happened at the CIA for a decade"; and the theories of James Angleton, the former CIA ch
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Epstein ( Legend: The Secret World of Lee Harvey Oswald ) delves deep into the wheels-within-wheels of superpower intelligence and counterintelligence, showing ways in which the CIA and the KGB have been "provoked, seduced, lured into false trails, blinded, and turned into unwitting agents." Readers will find new information here on a multitude of subjects: programs involving CIA-written books published under defectors' names; the story of Yuri Nosenko, a KGB officer who defected in 1963 and was "at the heart of everything that happened at the CIA for a decade"; and the theories of James Angleton, the former CIA chief of counterintelligence, on the hidden motives of KGB super-mole Kim Philby. The book concludes with an ominously plausible argument that Gorbachev's glasnost is merely the sixth phase in a grand strategy of Soviet deception conceived soon after the Bolshevik Revolution. Highly recommended. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
I like how the primary characters evolve and grow, and we learn more about Cassandra (a major secondary character).
The ending definitely has me eager to read the final installment.. It boring now. The chapters are logical and information is easy to find. Jim Flathman who's an alcoholic but a man who also has nine lives, a man who saves Reed, a Reed Beckham doing his best to get back to Plum Island, take out Wood, help his friends and stay alive.
Five Stars.. After the misprints and the fact that it's pretty heavy on word puzzles, I'm not sure I'd buy it again.
Edit: It's happened again. Although technology may have superseded a lot of the material in this book, I still give it a thumbs up, as some technologies don't change much over the years. This is a hard topic to think about but, more knowledge is some comfort.. There is still a need for a major scholarly biography of Hume integrating all aspects of his life, work, and milieu.. I didn't expect to r
