Drawing on his thirty year career with the CIA, Frederick P. Hitz shows that even the most imaginative authors fail to capture the profound human dilemmas raised by real-life cases. Engaging and insightful, The Great Game\" shines a fascinating light on the veiled history of intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087159648407,"sku":"9780375726385","price":1307.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780375726385.webp?v=1767266520","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-great-game-the-myths-and-reality-of-espionage-9780375726385","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
