Title: HOW TO THINK LIKE A SPY!
Review: Months and months ago, I read the review of this book in the Washington Post. I had a look at the hardcover book in a store, but didn't buy it. Now that it's in paperback I couldn't resist, and WOW, I should've gotten it earlier. Although this book doesn't directly attempt to explain what is going on in the world today, particularly in the Middle East, and in the halls of power in Washington, London, and Riyadh, among other places, it provides so much historical insight into all those places, and all the problems we have there, that it did help me see the world and its problems in an all new light. Finally I understand not only the problems we have in dealing with those parts of the world, but also the problems our so-very-maligned intelligence services have in operating effectively in those places. And beyond educational value, WHAT A GREAT STORY! This book is a great read, better than fiction, because it's true.
Is the review positive or negative?
