New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1954. First American Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. [6], 245, [5] pages. Pencil name inside front flyleaf, boards scuffed and edges worn. Oreste Pinto (9 October 1889 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands – 18 September 1961 in London, England) was a Dutch counterintelligence officer and Lieutenant-Colonel. His activities during the Second World War, in which he worked with MI5 interrogating refugees to England, resulted in the capture of eight spies. During the Second World War, Pinto was an MI5 interrogator. He interviewed over 30,000 immigrants to the UK at the euphemistically named "London Reception Centre" in the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building in Wandsworth. In 1952, Pinto published two books, Spy-catcher and Friend or Foe? These formed the basis of the 1959-1961 BBC television series Spycatcher, and also an earlier BBC Radio series, in both of which he was portrayed by Bernard Archard. A further book, Spycatcher 2, based on the series, was published in 1960. The 1962 Dutch programme De Fuik, in which Pinto was portrayed by Frits Butzelaar, was also derived from them. Dwight Eisenhower once described Pinto as "the greatest living authority on security". The Daily Telegraph referred to him as a "human bloodhound". Pinto's career in intelligence began in 1913, when he was recruited by the Deuxième Bureau. He characterized himself as basically a generalist, with a knack for learning languages, skill in boxing and shooting ("I managed to reach amateur international standard,"), and being an excellent bridge player and a "local" zoologist.

Sonia Purnell is a British writer and journalist who has worked at The Economist, The Daily Telegraph, and The Sunday Times. Her books include Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill, which was chosen as book of the year by The Telegraph and The Independent, and was a finalist for the Plutarch Award. She also wrote the book and screenplay for the future film about Virginia Hall – A Woman of No Importance, produced by J. J. Abrams. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: British journalist Purnell vividly delivers an enthralling story of wartime intrigue. Virginia Hall, a spirited young woman from a Baltimore family, embarked on an overseas career with the State Department in 1931. Despite impressive work, she was barred from taking the diplomatic corps entrance exam. A gunshot wound in a hunting accident cost her half of her left leg. Despite her disability, Hall drove ambulances for the French army after the war started. An undercover British agent noticed her, and she was hired by the Special Operations Executive to recruit Resistance workers in France. Posing as a newspaper reporter, Hall established a vast underground network that pushed back against the German invaders. In late 1942, with her cover blown, Hall escaped France via a dangerous trek across the Pyrenees to Spain. When the SOE refused to send her back to France, she joined the American Office of Strategic Services to facilitate D-Day operations. Purnell does a fine job of bringing Hall’s story to life. More

The War Department advised the author that he is free to express his opinions, but cautioned that they do not necessarily have anything to do with the opinions held by the War Department. The United States Army Counter Intelligence Corps (Army CIC) was a World War II and early Cold War intelligence agency within the United States Army consisting of highly trained Special Agents. Its role was taken over by the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps in 1961 and, in 1967, by the U.S. Army Intelligence Agency. Its functions are now performed by its modern-day descendant organization; United States Army Counterintelligence. The National Counter Intelligence Corps Association (NCICA), a veterans' association, was established in the years immediately following World War II by Military Intelligence agents who had served in every area of military and domestic operations. The organization meets annually. Its newsletter, the Golden Sphinx, is published quarterly. Derived from a Kirkus review: A proud exciting account of the Army Counter Intelligence Corps, from its inexperienced beginnings to its development into an efficient, dare-devil group of spy-catchers. The author, from an enlisted private to Major, went to Africa, Italy, France, and in 1945 became chief of the CIC in northern Germany. All types of spies, inside stories on Darlan, Himmler, the plot to kill Eisenhower, pre-invasion security measures, captured Gestapo files, etc., etc., make this breathless reading. More
