Hilarious account of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services - precursor to the CIA) during WWII. One of my favorite books from my childhood.

I'm extremely surprised You're Stepping on My Cloak and Dagger by Roger Hall didn't make the list. This book had me in stitches the entire time reading it. Amazing story teller and just an overall amazing story. Link: https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Stepping-Cloak-Dagger-Bluejacke...…
on “Useful Spy Books” ↗Encountering someone who knows you is one of the big risks for people working undercover. Read "You're Stepping on my Cloak and Dagger", by Roger Hall.
on “Want anonymity? Make a persona not a mystery” ↗If you like Feynman, you might like You're Stepping On My Cloak and Dagger. The CIA's basically given up trying to suppress its publication by now, and it's hysterical.
