This was a fascinating and fantastic story. I know they made it into a movie maybe 10 years ago, and I definitely want to watch it now. I was particularly fond of the background to see how the specialists embraced the art and power of makeup. I had never before considered when or how modern disguises hit the spy scene. I had incorrectly assumed as new things came out, they were gobbled up by people like the CIA. I am always amazed at how some unconnected doofus in an office believes they know more than people on the ground.
This was a shitty time in our foreign policy agenda, but this is a story that near everyone should read.
