About this Item

Written by former CIA officer Ed Mickolus, a thirty-three-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency, this entertaining collection pulls back the curtain on the lighter side of one of America's most secretive organizations. Drawing upon true stories, declassified anecdotes, practical jokes, training mishaps, internal memos, parody, poems, and humorous observations contributed by current and former intelligence professionals, Mickolus presents a refreshingly human portrait of the intelligence community. Rather than sensationalizing espionage, the book showcases the camaraderie, wit, and workplace culture that developed within the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies during decades of Cold War and post-Cold War service. Particularly appealing are the sections devoted to authentic office humor, 'Spy-Fi' culture, programming jokes, and humorous essays that will resonate with intelligence professionals, military historians, and readers interested in the everyday realities behind intelligence work.

Condition: Near Fine. The glossy pictorial softcover remains bright and attractive with only the slightest evidence of shelf handling visible along the extremities. Binding is tight and square, spine remains uncreased, and the interior is clean, bright, and free of writing, highlighting, or ownership marks. Pages appear crisp with no loose or damaged leaves observed. An excellent collector-quality copy that appears lightly handled.

This copy is the First Edition, First Printing (2011) published by Pelican Publishing Company. The copyright page bears the original 2011 copyright and first Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication data with no indication of later printings or revised editions.
