    About this ebook

    “Eamon Javers has produced a remarkable book about the secret world of business warfare—a world filled with corporate spies and covert ops and skullduggery… An important book that has the added pleasure of reading like a spy novel.” —David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z

    Award-winning reporter Eamon Javers’s Broker, Trader, Lawyer, Spy is a penetrating work of investigative and historical journalism about the evolution of corporate espionage, exploring the dangerous and combustible power spies hold over international business. From the birth of the Pinkertons to Howard Hughes, from presidents to Cold War spies, Broker, Trader, Lawyer, Spy is, like Legacy of Ashes and Blackwater, a first rate political thriller that also just happens to be true.

      Not so many secrets. It turns out that lots of former CIA etc. employees (and even current CIA employees, due to a cozy little rule that lets them work on the side) are in the private investigation business and will trail people and go through their trash for the benefit of business competitors. For all the personal detail, there was very little insightful about what this access means, nor was there much in the way of tradecraft or revelations about specific secrets that had been discovered.
