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. The book is based on hundreds of interviews with operatives from both sides, telling the story of spies who came of age in the shadow of the Cuban missile crisis and Cold War starting with the ‘Year of the Spy’ when, one by one, the CIA’s age...

John R. Seeger, ex-CIA division chief of operations, calls Setting the East Ablaze his favorite non-fiction book but he’s recommending all of Hopkirk’s work: “Every single book by Hopkirk starting with The Great Game should be on your bookshelf but this book focuses on the expansion of the Soviet Empire and the little know effort by the British Sec...
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.
Jeff Miller and his partner Nick Brokhausen have been featured on several True Spies podcasts and we also enjoyed their book Vagabonds: Tourists in the Heart of Darkness. If you are a fan of Brokhausen's We Few, you may also want to check out Whispers in the Tall Grass.
Michele Assad’s book is inspirational, uplifting, and authentic. "It is a real story about the world of espionage and gives a unique window into the men and women who risk it all for a higher purpose,” said counterterrorism specialist Joseph Assad. Breaking Coverdetails how CIA officers were able to use their skills not only for espionage and prote...

Lovers of spy fiction are some of the most devoted genre fans of all, and it’s easy to see why. The best spy novels are thrilling, dangerous, and often a little sexy. They explore politics and history through a unique lens (and we’re not just talking about night vision goggles).
