Spycraft: The Secret History of the CIA’s Spytechs, from Communism to al-Qaeda
(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)Here is my latest read. If your intrigued by espionage and technology you will love this book. It is a long read, all 548 pages, but definitely worth it. Robert Wallace’s credentials are impeccable as a former Director of the CIA’s Office of Technical Service, and H. Keith Melton is an internationally recognized author, historian, and expert on clandestine technology. The book is well researched. The books covers the story of the famous CIA spy Oleg Penkovsky in the Soviet Union. It talks about the Bay of Pigs invasion, and all the way to some of the CIA Ops in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The book primarily covers the OTS (Office of Technical Service) and the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). It doesn’t go into operations as much, but that is fine if your a technical whiz bang.
