Why read it?
2 authors picked Moscow X as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
McCloskey is brilliant at teaching the reader about a country's internal politics while providing a fast and page turning read. His first book Damascus Station gave me a lot of insight into Syria and in Moscow X he does the same to Putin's Russia. It is spy-tainment at its best.
This book struck a familiar note with me—follow the money.
Working financial crimes during my federal agent days always came down to figuring out where the money came from, how many hands it passed through, and where it ended up. McCloskey does an excellent job showing this through his CIA officer's deception to uncover Putin's moneymen.
Working in a non-official cover (NOC) capacity in a hostile country has its hazards, as the author vividly describes.
From Larry's list on spies from a retired secret service agent.
