4.0 out of 5 stars
Not a spy book, but a book about spies.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Honorable Treachery: A History of U. S. Intelligence, Espionage, and Covert Action from the American Revolution to the CIA (Paperback)
If you buy this book expecting spy stories,you're going to be disappointed. But it will be very interesting to those who follow the spy genre. It begins with stories about American Revolution spying and ends in the early 60's with CIA tales. There are many names dropped, and this may be the main value to some. It's interesting to read who has done intelligence work -- a Who's Who of the Who's Who. The book metemorphoses from a rather dry historical treatise at the beginning through other phases to a CIA-centered story at the end, no doubt because Mr. O'Toole was himself in the CIA. Lots of things here that you won't find collected elsewhere; well researched and well documented. |
