Earlier in 2024 a former operative of JSOC's elite spy unit published this book. It's a must-read for anyone interested in #espionage since there are very few known details about the Intelligence Support Activity (aka #ISA, #FOG, #OMS, #SAA, TF Orange, etc) #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

Excellent 2023 book from the first Black Arab-Canadian Muslim intel officer of #CSIS, @HudaMukbil. It's quite rare getting a glimpse into lesser known agencies (like CSIS) and Huda shares a lot of valuable insights, and lessons learned. #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary #Canada

Excellent book from 2013 for anyone interested in western #SIGINT history by Peter Matthews, who had first-hand experience and second-hand reports from other SIGINTers to write this book. #OSINTChallenge: Where was this photo taken? #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

Really nice book on Russia's #GRU unit 74455 (and others) by @a_greenberg. #OSINTChallenge: Can you find where this photo was taken? #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

Very interesting book from 2016 on some of the #CIA's counterterrorism activities, written by Douglas Laux who was a Case Officer (2006-13) and then a #JSOC contractor (2013-16). #OSINTChallenge: Can you find out where this photo was taken? #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

Despite this being a book from 2011, it's an excellent resource for anyone interested in #GCHQ (and the wider #SIGINT) history. Also, another #OSINTChallenge for you... Where was that photo taken? #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

"Spycraft Secrets" is a nice and small book from 2016 for those who want to get familiar with spy lingo and basic tradecraft along with some historical context. Who can find out where this photo was taken? #OSINTChallenge #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

It is always great reading books from lesser known spy agencies. Its author, @Vikram_Sood, was the Head of India's foreign intelligence agency, the Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW), in 2000-2003 with an intel career of 31 years of service! #Espionage #HUMINT #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

A great book from 2019 by @nadabakos, especially good for anyone interested in understanding the role that #CIA Targeting Officers played in recent intelligence-led counter-terrorism operations. #Espionage #HUMINT #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

In 2003 the Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. published this series talking about the Israeli #Mossad, Russia's #SVR, Britain's #MI6, French #DGSE, US #CIA and German #BND. Unfortunately, each book is just about 60 pages long and very superficial. #SpyBooks #Espionage #SpyLibrary

New addition to the #SpyLibrary: #Jedburgh Team Operations in Support of the 12th Army Group, August 1944. #OSS #WW2

As nation-states overtly & covertly provide weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia you might like this book by #CIA veteran @JackDevine_TAG who (among others) led the largest #ColdWar covert action,providing Stingers to Mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight the Soviet forces #SpyLibrary

New addition to the #SpyLibrary: No Cloak, No Dagger: Allied Spycraft in Occupied France by #SOE agent Benjamin Cowburn, the longest serving F-Section agent. MRD Foot, the official historian of the SOE, named him as one of SOE's half-dozen "best men." He was never captured. #WW2

Looking for a good read from the #SpyLibrary for your #COVID19 isolation: The Catcher was a Spy by Nicholas Dawidoff, 1994 is the true story of MLB catcher & mediocre batter Moe Berg who brilliantly served as a spy in the #OSS. #WW2
