Chris Whipple, a writer and documentary filmmaker, is the author of the acclaimed New York Times best-seller, The Gatekeepers: How the White House chiefs of staff define every presidency. His latest book, The Spymasters: How the CIA Directors Shape History and the Future, was published on September 15, 2020. He is an on-air contributor at MSNBC, and has written Op-Ed pieces for the New York Times and Washington Post.

[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?
