Another recommendation from Patteson, this time a memoir from ex-CIA Deputy Director Duane R. ‘Dewey’ Clarridge. A Spy for All Seasonsrecounts the clandestine activities he supervised. Clarridge is an interesting character - he helped found the CIA Counterterrorism Center, was indicted (and later pardoned) for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, a...
One of Patteson’s favorites, Good Hunting by CIA spymaster Jack Devine, is about the spymaster who ran Charlie Wilson's War in Afghanistan. It was the Cold War’s largest covert action and Devine put Stinger missile into the hands of the mujahideen during their war with the Soviets. Good Hunting is a sophisticated read about CIA ops.
The Main Enemyis the inside story of the CIA's final showdown with the KGB at the tail end of the Cold War.

Our SPYSCAPE panel highly recommends Christina Hillsberg and License to Parent, which details how Christina and her husband - also a former CIA undercover officer - raise their children using spy techniques and training to ensure their resourcefulness. The book is full of safety and security advice and adults without children will be just as fascin...
Douglas London’s memoir The Recruiteris about a CIA spymaster who spent 34 years running foreign agents and trying not to get pulled down in the vicious undertow of shark-infested waters. London was threatened at gunpoint, chased through the streets, and lied his way out of danger for a living but his story is more George Smiley than James Bond.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steve Coll is an expert on the rise of the Taliban, the emergence of Osama bin Laden, and the secret efforts by CIA officers and their agents to capture or kill bin Laden in Afghanistan after 1998. Ghost Wars is recommended by ex-CIA officer Doug Patteson.

Breaking Coverdetails how CIA officers were able to use their skills not only for espionage and prote...
