UnderCover with Spymasters Author Chris Whipple

[Editors Note: Cipher Brief Senior Book Editor Bill Harlow recently had a conversation with author Chris Whipple about his new book: The Spymasters. A review of the book can be found here. In the book’s acknowledgments section, Whipple thanks Harlow for his assistance.  Harlow tell us that was mostly for convincing a few folks who might be otherwise inclined to sit down for interviews with the author.]

Harlow: It is common for people to write books and then someone makes a documentary of movie out of them.  This is the second time you have made a documentary and THEN turned it into a book.  Has anyone told you that you are doing this backwards?
