Espionage, political machinations, oil, secretly funded high-tech weapons of intelligence, ghosts of the Cold War, murder, and poker.  Who could want more in a summer read?  Join the three co-authors of High Hand, a new spy thriller, to explore how they used their vast professional and personal experience to create a riveting novel, written using the pseudonym Curtis J. James,  that takes on hot-button issues and opens up the covert worlds of the CIA and SVR. 

 

The authors: award-winning Pentagon journalist James Rosen, world-renowned cancer scientist Curtis Harris, and James Ellenberger, a former senior official of a national labor federation, will be joined by Spy Museum board member and retired KGB Major General Oleg D. Kalugin, for this spirited discussion ranging from how the world of spies, journalists, union leaders, and politicians intertwine to  the extraordinary ways that advanced technology could be used in the pursuit of surveillance and interrogation.

 

High Hand will be available for sale and signing at the event.
