- RachelF 2y agoThanks for the correction in the name. The book accompanying the TV series is also brilliant: https://archive.org/details/secretwar0000john https://archive.org/details/secretwar0000john It goes into more detail about many things that didn't make it into the TV series. RV Jones' book is great, if you enjoyed it, his follow up book, "Reflections on Intelligence", covers a lot of secrets that he couldn't mention at the time of publishing his original book.
- willvarfar 2y agothx I had read the Most Secret War book, but hadn't realised he had published others! Looking forward to devouring them. A quick googling lead me down a path that found out that the CIA has an award in his honour! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._V._Jones_Intelligence_Award https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._V._Jones_Intelligence_Award
