🔍 Inside the CIA’s Most Secretive Operations: Two Must-Read Titles Now Available at the CIA EAA Store
The CIA’s most covert innovations didn’t happen in the public eye — they happened in shadows, behind fences, and beyond classified doors. Now, two of my books that peel back those layers are available through the CIA’s Employee Activity Association (EAA) Store at Langley — a rare honor for any author.
These titles are also available to the public through Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, Hardcover, and Audiobook formats, bringing readers into the cockpit, the war room, and the lab where the CIA shaped the modern world.
