Spooked: The Trump Dossier, Black Cube, and the Rise of Private Spies

Outstanding book on the workings of private international spying organizations and their manipulation of the media and public opinion. Great detail concerning the flaws in the Steele dossier. Inside scoop on Harvey Weinstein's failed use of Black Cube spies to discredit his sex abuse accusers. This revealing, candid look at a dark, deceitful, ruthless industry will thrill and disgust you all at once.

I missed "The Big COnnection" - my dfeelinjg that this needed to be tied more formly to the needs of the State. Very informative

Interesting read about the modern spy for hire groups who often are hired by political groups (both sides of the aisle) to get dirt on opponents. The author details the rise of these spies and the damage they can do with very little oversight.

This is a very important story, and shows how this industry poses a risk to democracy. Politicians are using these methods to overthrow leaders of country, and it is all lies. Scary stuff, and it is all true.

Too wordy
