These terms and organizations are usually found in fiction books. But Don Franck knows their reality.

In this tell all book, Deep Blue: Industrial Espionage, IBM and the CIA, author Don Franck gives his readers a hair-raising look into the "spy world" on a worldwide scale. He was an integral team member when the US Air Force took pictures of the Soviet Union from hydrogen-filled balloons at the height of the Cold War and prior to the advent of satellites and the U2. Clandestine operations were carried out with direct approval from then Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and President Dwight Eisenhower. Don was also the major player when the CIA contacted Nick Katzenbach, the lead attorney for IBM and former Attorney General for the USA, to spy on the USSR.

For more than forty years, Don assisted the CIA in various activities around the globe. As a senior engineer at IBM, then as Vice President of Technology at Dovatron Corporation, he planned and participated in espionage activities that enabled American industry and the USA to stay ahead of the global competitive curve, while keeping Americans safe.

Is this the stuff that spy movies are made of? After reading this book, you can be the judge.

Quick read and some interesting history

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2019

This is a quick read at about 100 pages with some illustrations. Some interesting history, but I don't know that I'd call it 'hair raising'. That description set the expectations such that I kept waiting for that part. Still a good read if you enjoy technical history.

Very good book especially if you worked for IBM
