From the Publisher’s Weekly Review:
“Lang’s revised and updated debut examines the art of espionage and human intelligence gathering. Lang — a retired colonel who has since authored many other books, including a memoir on his time in the military and a trilogy of historical fiction novels based during the American Civil war — offers a succinct guide on all facets of modern intelligence gathering, laying out the history of intelligence gathering through the stories of spies and heroes, explaining the systems and institutions that have traditionally emerged in modern nations to facilitate espionage work, and illuminating the delicate art and practice of gathering human intelligence today and in the future.”

Cool, only 99 cents delivery from IUniverse (I won’t give Bezos a dime).
Looking forward to learning from the pros about the deeper psychology of “intelligence”.
Well..Someone Gave Bezos alot More than a Dime After He was Sent into the United States (Florida) in 1963 on The” Peter Pan” Program…He was Screened for Three Weeks By a Group similar to the One That Takes over Transported and Housing These Illegals coming in Now..
They Found Bezos had Potential..High IQ..A sO They took him up to New Hampshire For Schooling…Then Out To New Mexico For University on a Scholarship…
Thats Where He Met His Future Texas Wife..and got the Money Connection..to Start His Amazon Company..Another NO Generation Persona Calling The Shots..Billionaire.. Like George Soros and Many Other
s Down The Rabbit Hole..
Cheers..

Is there a chapter on how the CIA made sure the hostages in Iran were not released until the day Carter was out of office?

What does that have to do with me? I never worked for CIA.
Legacy of Ashes is a good book about this history of the CIA – and the taste it now leaves in one’s mouth.
Purchased Kindle edition. Looking forward to reading it. I enjoyed your other book on Intel, a slim volume written years ago after 911. Very instructive.

Not much different, just cleaned up the editing in the Chelsea edition. I want it short so that people are more likely to read it.
Glad to have purchased this then. Lost all my real books in a fire in 2018. Kindle on iPhone holds libraries. That was an excellent book. Succinct and to the point. Stays with you.
Never liked Kindle. I’ll try for a hardcopy.
Yup. It’s the hardcopy for me too.
I will order the electronic edition.
This may be a shot in the dark, but is the title inspired by, or related to Graham Greene’s novel? The movie version is quite good as well.
