Granddad doesn't need another tie. He needs a great book
Granddad doesn't need another tie for Christmas - he needs a great book |
Greetings, Friends: Need a gift for that special someone who has everything? The updated paperback version of Chinese Communist Espionage, just published in August, is priced on Amazon at $32.95 and is the same price direct from Naval Institute Press. From either source, it's still deliverable by Christmas! Meanwhile, I hope that have taken the opportunity to subscribe - for free - to SpyTalk. I regularly contribute articles there, some of which are available without a paywall for a week or so after publication. See https://www.spytalk.co for more information. A paid subscription to SpyTalk is also a cool Christmas gift for that hard-to-please espionage aficionado. Meanwhile, no matter where you are, Happy Holidays! Matt |
