Summer is for spying! Back on The Hill at Georgetown for a summer version of “Human Intelligence Operations” for our Security Studies Program grad students.

Happy to be speaking at the University of Arizona on the Role and Intelligence in Foreign Policy

Friend and retired CIA icon #JimLawler’s “A Traitor's Tale' stands apart from today's spy genre inviting the reader into the guarded souls of spies and their recruiters revealing their hopes, fears, scars and ambitions. A high octane journey to a shadowy world few know.

Much enjoyed @drichterova.bsky.social ‘s “Watching the Jackals,” illuminating the former Czechoslovakia’s Cold War collaboration with terrorist groups. Meticulously researched, a scholarly take on Prague’s complex relationships serving Moscow’s interests while protecting its own.

Pleased to announce I've accepted an appointment to teach "The Role of Intelligence in U.S. Foreign Policy" for @SAISHopkins John Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies' 2025 Summer Academy. sais.jhu.edu/academics/di...

My thanks to @jrebecchi and @nyit for inviting me to speak to the human element to Insider Threat and mitigation approaches from a life in espionage.

I appreciated the invitation from Vermont Senator Peter Welch to discuss the Middle East and future opportunities at his office in the Russell Senate Building.

The Recruiter by Douglas London | Hachette Books

Why do people spy for @CIA How are spies actually recruited? And what’s life truly like for a CIA ops officer. The Recruiter is a great holiday read that provides context for today’s headlines.
