More about the book
"James Jesus Angleton was the master - a legend in the time of spies, the founder of U.S. counterintelligence, and a ruthless hunter of America's enemies. Spytime is a fictional account of Angleton's life, from his involvement behind the lines in World War II to the waning days of the Cold War. A stunning re-creation of perilous times, it is also a masterful revelation of an obsessed man whose name became synonymous with skullduggery and subterfuge.". "Angleton pursued his foes, real and imagined, with cool, calculating intelligence. Convinced there was a turncoat within the highest levels of government, he spared no effort to expose and capture the traitor. The result was a near victory for U.S. Intelligence - and a disaster for Angleton himself."--BOOK JACKET.
