The Good Spy: The Life And Death Of Robert Ames

"This is spy craft, ladies and gentlemen; not a James Bond action movie or a John le Carré psychological thriller. This is spy craft practiced by a gentleman you’ve never heard of and never would have, had things gone well. Intelligent, religious and fiercely patriotic, Robert Ames was the kind of person you want working for the CIA; the kind of person you hope is working for the CIA. The Good Spy, Kai Bird’s biography of Ames, is absolutely steeped in the reality of being a spy. Read this book to learn who’s trying to protect you in a world full of threat."
