Finished two new #intelligencehistory reads this week. First up, "The Sisterhood" by Liza Mundy, a history of women in the CIA, plus a few in other agencies. Excellent read; I'm so glad some of these interviews happened before the older generation passes.

Mundy does a good job of covering multiple sides of the controversies surrounding some of the more recent GWOT-focused personalities and ops, but I'd recommend reading this in conjunction with Amy Zegart's books for fuller context.

Call for papers for a conference on Canadian intelligence history to be held in Ottawa in October 2024.

On the off chance... Does anyone have an image of the #signature of William S. Stephenson, the so-called "Man Called #Intrepid," the head of British Security Coordination during #WorldWarII? I just bought a book that he may have signed but I want to compare that signature to a known example of the real thing.

Strange. I'm reviewing page proofs for my book and so far I don't hate the thing.
