Riveting reading." -Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker takes a fresh look at the grandest espionage drama of our era."- Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review It reads like a story by Graham Greene, Ian Fleming, or John Le Carré, leavened with a dollop of P.G.
He has written a narrative about that most complex of topics, friendship.When devouring this thriller, I had to keep reminding myself it was not a novel. "Macintyre has produced more than just a spy story. Entertainment Weekly's Best Spy Book of 2014
