Summary
The United States is losing the counterintelligence war. Foreign intelligence services, particularly those of China, Russia, and Cuba, are recruiting spies in our midst and stealing our secrets and cutting-edge technologies.
In To Catch a Spy: The Art of Counterintelligence, James M. Olson, former chief of CIA counterintelligence, offers a wake-up call for the American public and also a guide for how our country can do a better job of protecting its national security and trade secrets. Olson takes the listener into the arcane world of counterintelligence as he lived it during his 30-year career in the CIA.
After an overview of what the Chinese, Russian, and Cuban spy services are doing to the United States, Olson explains the nitty-gritty of the principles and methods of counterintelligence. Listeners will learn about specific aspects of counterintelligence such as running double-agent operations and surveillance. The book also analyzes 12 actual case studies to illustrate why people spy against their country, the tradecraft of counterintelligence, and where counterintelligence breaks down or succeeds.

Captivating
I loved it. The story kept unfolding page by page. It is a book you won't want to stop once you start.
The author has masterfully painted a very detailed master piece. kudos!

Interesting
It is an interesting book but could be better. Explaining terms and the difference between movies and real life was brilliant. Not all chapters were interesting but worth your time

interesting content, robot reading ruins it all
Robot reading with frustrating intonation ruining the experience of an otherwise interesting subject. Story gets 4 stars because the good choice of subject is illustrated with somewhat shallow anecdotes.

Could’ve been better
I wish I didn’t need to say this but the narrator is like a speech to text machine. Sure he’s a lovely guy but … the content was quite interesting.
