So what are the best real Spy books? These from my peers at @IntlSpyMuseum are GREAT. THE MOSCOW RULES are stories of Cold War tactics by CIAs OG spooks Tony & Jonna Mendez! NUKING THE MOON by @intelhistorian is full of crazy missions I’ve never heard of. I LOVED THESE BOOKS! 👍🏾 – source2019-06-19T00:05:32.000Z
