New York, N.Y. Signet, 1996. First Signet Printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. 444, [4] pages. Includes Prologue, Since Then..., and chapters include Lind's Tape; Casey at the Bat; Kevin Grady's Sting; A Fine White Powder; Ramon's Run; Hell in a Little Class vial; Operation Medclean; A Package from Medellin; The Woman in Suite #51; The Samurai's Choice; Since Then...; and Acknowledgments. Kevin Grady is the idealistic agent for the DEA. Jack Lind is the hard-edged agent of the CIA, dedicated to furthering the national cause. These two heroes will find themselves on opposite sides of the same war. Derived from a Kirkus review: Collins blends fact with fancy, plausibly presenting how Nicaraguan contras were financed, and the importance of Panama for laundered money as well as narcotics. It's in 1988 Laos that Lind first confronts Kevin Grady, a dedicated DEA agent. Lind recruited promising young officer Manuel Antonio Noriega as the CIA's man in Panama. Noriega gains power and influence, becoming an invaluable source of intelligence. By the time the Reagan Administration decides to make Panama the keystone of its anti- Sandinista campaign, then, agency people like Lind have turned a blind eye to Noriega's involvement with dope traffickers. Grady continues to stalk big-time drug dealers. Lind warns Noriega of the DEA's investigation; who promptly orders the murder of an opponent of his regime. Lind is forced to face the consequences of actions he's taken in the national interest . . . just as Grady arrives with a warrant for his arrest. An engrossing, wide-angle yarn that could help confirm many conspiracy theorists' wilder suspicions and speculations. More
London: Victor Gollancz, 1951. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. 223, [1] pages. Bibliography. Cover has some wear. Some page discoloration. The author looks at Admiral Canaris, Chief of the German Intelligence Service and leaves it to the reader to answer the question of whether Canaris was secretly a British agent or just an extremely loyal German patriot. Ian Colvin was a journalist and author. As a journalist he began his career on the News Chronicle in Berlin, from where he was expelled by the Nazis in 1939. Acknowledging Colvin’s role in establishing communications between anti-Nazi members of the German General Staff and the British Government during 1938-9, Winston Churchill wrote in The Gathering Storm, “Ian Colvin delved deeply into German affairs and maintained contacts of a secret nature with the German Generals." During the 1950’s and 60’s Colvin worked as a foreign correspondent in Africa and the Middle East for the Daily Telegraph. At the time of his death in 1975, he was The Telegraph's chief leader writer and roving foreign correspondent. His books include Chief of Intelligence, Vansittart in Office and The Chamberlain Cabinet. Wilhelm Franz Canaris (1 January 1887 – 9 April 1945) was a German admiral and the chief of the Abwehr (the German military-intelligence service) from 1935 to 1944. Following the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Canaris turned against Hitler and committed acts of both passive and active resistance during the war. Canaris also intervened to save a number of victims from Nazi persecution by getting them out of harm's way. He was instrumental in getting 500 Dutch Jews to safety in May 1941. More
New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 1951. Presumed First U.S. Edition, First printing. Hardcover. viii, [2], 286 pages. Frontis illustration. Footnotes. Bibliography. Index. Front board weak, restrengthened with glue. Originally published in Great Britain as Chief of Intelligence. Wilhelm Franz Canaris (1 January 1887 – 9 April 1945) was a German admiral and chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, from 1935 to 1944. Initially a supporter of Adolf Hitler, by 1939 he had turned against the Nazis as he felt Germany would lose another major war. He was among the military officers involved in the clandestine opposition to Nazi Germany leadership. He was executed in Flossenbürg concentration camp for high treason as the Nazi regime was collapsing. No direct evidence of his involvement in the July 20 plot was discovered, but his close association with many of the plotters and certain documents written by him that were considered subversive led to the assumption of his guilt.
