“This book is surely the best portrait of the working C.I.A. we have had in many years.” —New York Times Book Review
The most riveting and inventive spy novel to come along in years, published as vetted by the CIA itself, An Ordinary Spy is a dramatic portrait of modern espionage, filled with suspense, intrigue, and betrayal.
All in all, An Ordinary Spy is an odd, well-written and interesting novel, a low-key corrective to all the razzle-dazzle spy tales we've read. Probably the CIA isn't quite as hopeless as Weisberg suggests, but his account is a useful reminder that the agency is, at bottom, a bureaucracy with as much potential for absurdity as any other.

Ordinary Spy
Also known as "that spy book that used the black marks to blot out whole sections of prose, as a narrative gimmick that pretends to be a CIA censor's marks." But I thought the device worked well and, more importantly, the book is a very human story that cuts past the cliches about high-stakes espionage, drilling down into the reality of what it's like to gather intelligence about another country, another society, another person. An interesting and very unusual book.
