About this title

From the Author

This is the most "operational" of my books. It talks about being in alias, detecting surveillance, handling sources and how to smuggle intelligence documents out when you weren't ready for them. Plus, there are sections on Iran's effort to get a nuclear bomb, the Cuban Missile Crisis and how a colleague handled a checkpoint attack in a war zone. I think you'll find it useful. After you read it, send me an email and tell me what you think.
