UnderCover with Spymasters Author Chris Whipple

Author Interview

[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?

The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
