In 2024 the British Conflict Research Group published this (first publicly available) translation of the 1970 KGB "Comms with Agents" manual. A small typo in the intro ("FSB" instead of "SVR") made us question its quality, but we're wrong. It's really good. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

In 2015 French journalist A. Jordanov published this book about Al Qaeda member Mohammed Merah. Unfortunately, it's only available in French. The amount of detail (including information from/for the, then, French domestic spy agency - DCRI) is impressive. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary
Really insightful book from 2009 (part of a bigger series) for Camp X (the secret Special Training School No. 103 in Canada). Highly recommended if you're researching WWII espionage and covert operations. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary
This small little book from 2024 by former US Navy spy Marco Aletto is what we'd call... A gentle introduction to HUMINT. It gives some practical examples of HUMINT tradecraft and how people can apply them to their everyday life. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary
What is everyone reading this weekend? I am exited to get stuck into @janethynne’s Midnight in Vienna. #spybooks #thrillerbooks
Really nice book from 1998, giving some (basic for today's standards) insights into the espionage activities that take place all the time underwater. If you're interested in that, you'll probably enjoy this. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

Secret: Hong Kong by Franklin M Davis. Pyramid 1962. Loving this Cold War Era espionage cover art here by Mort Engel. #vintagepaperbacks #spybooks #bookcollection
A recently published (May 2024) book from (very likely) former ISA/TFO/FOG/etc. operators (Sh. & Joe Kent). Note that the book is dedicated Shannon Kent's story, not ISA/TFO/FOG/etc explicitly. Nevertheless, it provides a glimpse into the modern spy world. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary
What #spybooks are you reading this weekend? Working my way through the Tim Shipman list, I pick a number between 1-125 and give that author a go. I finished Matthew Richardson’s Scarlet Papers and rolled a 60 which is Anthony Hyde. Tim reckons this is better than The Little…

Very insightful book from 2007 (unfortunately only in Greek) from the former EYP handler of Abdullah Öcalan, founding member of PKK covering the events in detail. Its title is "Παράδοση Οτζαλάν: Η Ώρα της Αλήθειας" (Surrendering Öcalan: The Moment of Truth) #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary

We visited @Arundells this morning. Great to a houseful of books and art collected by Edward Heath, and to see bookshelves full of books that actually look as if they'd been read, and plenty of interest to followers of @spybrary ... #espionage #spybooks #spybrary

Excellent 2023 book from the first Black Arab-Canadian Muslim intel officer of #CSIS, @hudamukbil. It's quite rare getting a glimpse into lesser known agencies (like CSIS) and Huda shares a lot of valuable insights, and lessons learned. #Espionage #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary #Canada

This 2023 book isn't necessarily espionage-focused, but it's written by @mikeaglover1, who also served in CIA's GRS. The Situational Awareness chapter is definitely related to our content. Overall, it's a really nice and easy to follow book. #SpyBooks #SpyLibrary
