Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Kai BIrd; Author Dedication; Author's Note; Cast of Characters; Prologue; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Notes; Bibliography; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates and three-color map illustrated front and rear endpapers. "The Good Spy is Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Kai Bird's compelling portrait of the remarkable life and death of one of the most important operatives in CIA history - a man who, had he lived, might have helped heal the rift between Arabs and the West. On April 18, 1983, a bomb exploded outside the American embassy in Beirut, killing sixty-three people. It marked the beginning of Hezbollah as a political force, and even more important, it eliminated America's most influential and effective intelligence officer in the Middle East - CIA operative Robert Ames. What set Ames apart from his peers was his extraordinary ability to form deep, meaningful connections with key Arab intelligence figures. Some operatives relied on threats and subterfuge, but Ames worked by building friendships and emphasizing shared values - never more notably than with Yasir Arafat's charismatic intelligence chief and heir apparent Ali Hassan Salameh (aka "The Red Prince"). Ames' deepening relationship with Salameh held the potential for a lasting peace. Within a few years, though, both men had been killed by assassins, and America's relations with the Arab world began heading down a path that culminated in 9/11, the War on Terror, and the current fog of mistrust. Bird, who as a child lived in the Beirut embassy and knew Ames as a neighbor when he was twelve years old, spent years researching The Good Spy. Not only does the book draw on hours of interviews with Ames' widow and hundreds of Ames' private letters, it's woven from interviews with scores of current and former American, Israeli, and Palestinian intellignece officers as well as other playres in the Middle East's "Great Game." What emerges is an absorbing narrative of the making of a CIA officer, a uniquely insightful history of twentieth-century conflict in the Middle East, and a gripping hour-by-hour account of the Beirut embassy bombing. Even more impressive, Bird draws on his reporter's skills to deliver a full dossier on the bombers and expose the shocking truth of where the attack's mastermind resides today." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Kai BIrd has delivered two miracles - the best day-by-day account of a secret intelligence career in the CIA, and the best book about the murderous intelligence war between Israel and her enemies with America smack in the middle .Powerful and revealing." - Thomas Powers, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Intelligence Wars. "If John le Carre were a nonfiction specialist, he surely would feel the lure of writing the story that is at the heart of The Good Spy. Kai Bird has produced an arresting book .The spy of his title, Robert Ames, is a figure of unusual poignancy because hs guile and innocence run side by side." - Fouad Ajami, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of The Syrian Rebellion.
