Wry Reflections On My Life In the CIA
In a memoir written as a series of narrative vignettes, a former CIA operations officer recounts his years of danger, intrigue and adventure. This candid and darkly witty memoir recounts an exhilarating life — and a few close brushes with death. With remarkable sangfroid and a humorist’s eye for absurdity, H. K. Roy describes his many strange and risky exploits in his long career with the CIA.
