Publisher's Summary

In Spymaster's Prism, the legendary former spymaster Jack Devine details the unending struggle with Russia and its intelligence agencies as it works against our national security. Devine tells this story through the unique perspective of a seasoned CIA professional who served more than three decades, some at the highest levels of the agency. He uses his gimlet-eyed view to walk us through the fascinating spy cases and covert action activities of Russia, not only through the Cold War past, but up to and including its interference in the Trump era. Devine also looks over the horizon to see what lies ahead in this struggle and provides prescriptions for the future.

Based on personal experience and exhaustive research, Devine builds a vivid and complex mosaic that illustrates how Russia's intelligence activities have continued uninterrupted throughout modern history, using fundamentally identical policies and techniques to undermine our democracy. He shows in stark terms how intelligence has been modernized and weaponized through the power of the cyber world.

* A superficial summary that attempts to whitewash history.

It is impossible for this "reader" to wonder if the author has penned a deliberate piece of propaganda or if he is simply lazy? Most troubling to me is that this book 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 (and 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦) been a valuable resource for politically engaged citizens. It is not. It is nothing more than the other side of the disinformation coin that is recent Russia/US affairs, more subtle perhaps but no different than the baseless and outlandish claims that eminate from the very Russian troll factories this book perports to warn us of. Do not waste your time, nor your money.

Reactionary CIA apologia

largely a conservative fluff piece mascarading as a book, the blandest possible history of some of the CIA stories anyone who had read a book on the CIA has heard before, only flavoured with blatent conservative pandering. In short this is the kind of book you pickup in the sale section of an airport bookshop
