New York: Avon Books, 2000. First Edition [stated]. First Printing [stated]. Hardcover. x, [2], 308 pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author. Mrs. Kiyonaga was married for 30 years to Joseph Y. 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.”.

Klehr is known for his books on the subject of the American Communist movement, and on Soviet espionage in America (many written jointly with John Earl Haynes). Ronald Radosh (born 1937) is an American writer, professor, historian, and former Marxist. As described in his memoirs, Radosh was, like his parents, a member of the Communist Party of the United States of America until the Khrushchev thaw. Subsequently, he was a New Left intellectual and Anti-Vietnam War activist until becoming a social conservative[citation needed] during the early 1980s. During the late 1970s, Radosh gained widespread notoriety for arguing, based on declassified FBI documents and interviews with their friends, that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were guilty of spying for the KGB. According to his close friend David Horowitz, Radosh's decision to publish his findings led to his social ostracism. Currently employed by the Hudson Institute. More

New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1934. Second Printing. Hardcover. 329, illus., map, index, slight darkening to text, DJ worn & soiled: several tears/chips, small pieces missing. Excerpt from Kirkus review: " The book opens with Landau's own early life, his training and background for the position he later held. The last part picks up the threads of his personal career, his post-war experiences, two years' romantic interlude with Yvonne, a famous dancer, his trip to Russia and the adventure of the emeralds, his fleeting contracts with post-war secret service activities. The balance of the book -- and the more important part -- is an analysis of the British secret service operations in Belgium and Holland." More
