there's a lot of good material out there, but it'll kind of be up to you to put it together.

if i can recommend a piece of fiction, that can help get you into that headspace, i'd probably go with The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

the author was a former MI5 and MI6 employee. he was still with MI6 when he wrote The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. but once he found success with it, he left to pursue writing full time.

Timeline has some good videos on the subject as well.

if you get a chance to check it out, Ted Gup wrote a pretty awesome book many years ago called The Book of Honor. it tells the story of the CIA's Memorial Wall. while the book doesn't directly deal with a whole lot of KGB methods, it does give valuable insight into what was going on with Americans during that period.

there's a huge number of things out there that will discuss different KGB tactics, of which some were learned from the Germans. but most of it will be scattered through different books and documentaries.

once you get a feel for some of the stuff that was going on, it'll be easier to read about different operations and have a good idea of what was happening.

> Maxwell, 57, the alleged madam to the multimillionaire pedophile, was scarfing down a burger, fries and shake al fresco at an In-N-Out Burger on Monday while reading “The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives,” a nonfiction best seller by journalist Ted Gup.

There are news articles talking about the billboard of the photo being photoshopped but no one has explained this part of the image yet, with the clipping. She was reported "missing" even though she is wanted for questioning regarding the Epstein case and her civil suit regarding her involvement with luring women to his house to be molested. Supposedly she randomly shows up at a burger joint after Epstein's death, with a bunch of weird shit going on in the photo that looks shopped.

People talk about the billboard being photoshopped but the glaring clipping going on under her arm and the inconsistency of what SHOULD be shown there has yet to be pointed out in any of the articles using this pic. Just curious about thoughts on this.

The billboard company that owns that space already said that they do not have ads showing for Good Boys there, which has lead mainstream publications to suggest it was added after the fact.. but what about her arm? If you look at her in (this photo) you can see a more "candid" show of her which shows her looking less posed, older, and no sign of anything blue that would have been behind her.

So was this photo here edited? There also doesn't appear to be a book in the linked photo at all (which is said to be The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives.

Was there perhaps someone there that was later edited out, you think?

An Amazon reviewer says:


This is a fascinating book about the untold story of the history of the CIA and its fallen heroes. Each star on the wall in the CIA lobby represents an agent who has given his/her life in service to the country, yet because of the CIA's security most of the information about them has been concealed from the public. Even their families have limited information and many have spent years trying to get the facts. Now we learn their full stories. Each of the agent stories in the book gives a glimpse into a different time period in American history, from post-WWII America, to the Cold War, Cuban missile crisis, and others. It paints a vivid picture of the evolving nature of the CIA, and US policies, as the focus of the organization shifts from Cold War to terrorism threats. I hope they make this into a TV series, many will be riveted by this secret history.

When she was apparently seen at the L.A. In-and-Out Burger joint, she clearly wanted to be seen, especially reading that book in particular.

Aside from trying to keep investigators off balance and off her trail (that much we can presume) ... What was she trying to communicate? Whom was she trying to communicate to?
