This review is from: The Mission: CIA in the Balkans (Hardcover)
The Mission: CIA in the Balkans is an illuminating glimpse into the nitty-gritty of actual espionage. R.E. Estes finds that it's more about compromise and playing the game, than it is baccarat and supervillains. The training sequences are particularly well-drawn. For another smart thriller set in the Balkans, check out James Macomber's A Grave Breach.

A neat insight into the work of a CIA agent,

This review is from: The Mission: CIA in the Balkans (Hardcover)
This book is a very different kind of novel. It doesn't have the blood and guts of most spy novels, but instead has a look at the true "intelligence" side of a covert CIA agent and his actions. I found the way they trained the Bulgarian, and what they used to uncover the "real story" of his subsequent actions absolutely fascinating. It also gives an insight into the life of CIA agents themselves. This book is a quick read - it'll sure hold your attention.
