Theory Of Spycraft

A BRIEF THEORY OF SPYCRAFT

Weaving the Tangled Web

by Christopher David Costanzo

A retired CIA senior operations officer with twenty five years in the
Clandestine Service reveals the classic theoretical underpinnings of his craft
in a modern context.

The author outlines twenty-seven interactions that a professional
clandestine operator must keep in mind when weaving
the tangled web of deception to ensure that the web does not control him
but that he controls the web.

This book is not for everyone. It is in effect a mini-textbook for sudents,
and requires concentration.

But even if not for the casual reader, it will be of interest to government
employees, to security personnel, to anyone attuned to international
relations, and to serious espionage buffs.
