I picked up this book from the library after hearing an interview with one of the authors on NPR. I was mostly interested in the aspects talking about how Hollywood special effects and magic tricks where integrated into CIA disguise repertoire. As such, there were several chapters that were quite interesting and talked about how certain devices or costume changes were planned out, although I would’ve liked more specific details. In terms of actual politics or spycraft however all the information in this book is pretty old of course. If that’s an area that interests you there’s probably not much new here although it seems like a good summary for someone new to the topic. I found it interesting how large the overlap was between Hollywood and the CIA. Overall it’s a pretty quick read and pretty shallow overview of the history of the time, so YMMV depending what you’re interested in.
