A former New York Times correspondent, he has published several books and writes for several newspapers and news agencies. During the 1980s, Kinzer covered revolutions and social upheaval in Central America and wrote his first book, Bitter Fruit, about military coups and destabilization in Guatemala during the 1950s. In 1990, The New York Times appointed Kinzer to head its Berlin bureau, from which he covered Eastern and Central Europe as they emerged from the Soviet bloc. Kinzer was The New York Times chief in the newly established Istanbul bureau from 1996 to 2000. Upon returning to the U.S., Kinzer became the newspaper's culture correspondent, based in Chicago, as well as teaching at Northwestern University. He then took up residence in Boston and began teaching journalism and U.S. foreign policy at Boston University. He has written several nonfiction books about Turkey, Central America, Iran, and the U.S. overthrow of foreign governments from the late 19th century to the present, as well as Rwanda's recovery from genocide.

Kiyonaga, who served as a CIA station chief in Brazil and Panama. From a base in Japan, he ran psychological operations against North Korea during the Korean War. He plotted espionage operations with military strongmen and businessmen in Panama, El Salvador and Brazil. When he died in 1977 the CIA was coming under public criticism for exceeding its authority in covert operations overseas. In the face of such criticism, Joseph Kiyonaga told his wife, he wanted to “stand up and be counted.” So she got a yellow lined legal pad and took notes while he talked. Twenty-three years after his death, her book was published, “My Spy: Memoir of a CIA Wife.” The volume described her husband as tight-lipped and mysterious. He would disappear for days without notice and return without explanation. There were shadowy characters around the house, neither friends nor business associates nor relatives. They lacked names. They lacked identities. As the wife of a spy, Mrs. Kiyonaga followed the requisite code of silence. “We lied about our husbands’ jobs,” she wrote, “stalled inquisitive policemen, befriended ministers’ wives, kept our ears open at parties, deflected the children’s questions, worried in silence alone. We were CIA wives. You never knew us.” Publishers Weekly praised it as an “unpretentious account of their 30-year marriage and its description of her lonely life as a mother of five . . . which unfolded on a need to know basis.”.

Bell, Formerly United States Attorney General. Also includes Acknowledgments by the author. Yung Krall (Vietnamese: ng M Dung; born 1946) is an American former spy born in Vietnam. Her autobiography, A Thousand Tears Falling, recounts her life growing up in the midst of the Vietnam War, as well as her life in America as a spy for the CIA, FBI, and NSA. Krall gained employment working for American vendors on a U.S. Navy base near Saigon where she met Lt. John Krall, a U.S. Navy pilot, whom she later married. The two of them moved to the United States. Using her background as a native Vietnamese, she worked with the CIA and FBI to bring down a communist Vietnamese subgroup and recruit members in the U.S. and Europe. She played a role in the capture and conviction of North Vietnamese spies Ronald Humphrey and David Truong. In exchange for her family's rescue from a falling Saigon, Yung became a spy for the CIA. The author is the first child of one of Viet Nam's most senior southern Communist cadres to come forth and share the intimate years of painful conflict within a family as the cost of competing political ideologies. Her father failed to transform her into a servant of the revolution, but instead he produced one of Viet Nam's more noted counterrevolutionaries. More
