An excellent book that should be required reading, especially since the events discussed are so directly linked to current world events. The Good Spy tells the story of the work of Robert Ames, one man, who had he lived, you cannot help but wonder how the world might be different. One can't help but feel though that this book only scratches the surface - which given the fact that much of the information pertaining to the timeframe is still classified, it is easy to understand why that might be. However, The Good Spy is full of history and stories previously untold. It is a condensed version of the troubles in the Middle-East that will bring many of today's issues in the region into at least partial clarity, especially for younger generations who did not live through the events examined in the book.
