Good Hunting: An American Spymaster’s Story

byJack Devine

Veteran CIA officer Jack Devine recounts a career spanning covert operations, counterintelligence, and major turning points in American foreign policy. He describes assignments connected to Afghanistan, Latin America, Iran-Contra, and the hunt for the traitor Aldrich Ames while explaining how intelligence decisions are made under secrecy and uncertainty. Devine combines operational stories with reflections on leadership, political oversight, and the limits of clandestine power. The memoir presents espionage as patient, collaborative work rather than cinematic adventure and considers what professional judgment requires when information is incomplete and the consequences are national.
