Spymaster’s Prism: The Fight Against Russian Aggression

byJack Devine

Former CIA officer Jack Devine uses the history of Soviet and Russian intelligence operations to interpret contemporary aggression. He traces recurring methods including disinformation, political influence, covert action, espionage, corruption, and the exploitation of divisions inside democratic societies. Drawing on operational experience and historical cases, Devine argues that tactics evolve with technology but remain grounded in long-standing strategic habits. The book explains how intelligence services view patience, deniability, and psychological pressure, while calling for a sustained Western response that combines counterintelligence, public awareness, alliance cooperation, and a realistic understanding of Russian objectives.
