Hardcover, FINE/VERY GOOD, little edgewear, minor rubbing, 203 pages. Explains 2,000 words of tradecraft used by the CIA, FBI & more. In the course of this book, the reader learns about the motivation of spies, how they are financed secretly, writers who doubled as intelligence agents, myths most people believe that have been refuted by photographic and autopsy evidence, and the rules of the intelligence game. Never has the world of intelligence been so accurately -- and interestingly -- defined between covers. Henry S.A. Becket is the pseudonym of a deniable person, an experienced author who would rather that the world not know from whence this dictionary came.
