SHORT COURSE IN THE SECRET WAR

Another entry in the spy line-up rates as a stranger-than-Hitchcock memoir of a selfstyled quondam CIA bigwig. The plot gets even thicker when it is realized that this was offered to the world pseudonymously. The ""lessons"" cover such matters as sleeper agents, cut-out agents and any number of intimate recollections of Hungarian foreign intrigue and some very knowing remarks about Cuba and U-2. It sounds like pseudo -information from an anonymous cloaked and daggered source.
