Alan Trabue chose a bizarre, dangerous way to make a living.
In A Life of Lies and Spies, Trabue exposes the often
perilous world of polygraphing foreign spies in support of
CIA espionage programs. He recounts his incredible,
true-life globe-trotting adventures, from his induction in
the CIA in 1971 to directing the CIA's world-wide covert ops
polygraph program. A Life of Lies and Spies brings readers into the high-stakes
world of covert operations and the quest to uncover deceit,
featuring a high-speed car chase, blown clandestine
meetings, surreptitious room searches, tear-gassing by riot
police, and confrontations with machine gun-armed soldiers.
Liberally sprinkled with side anecdotes-such as debriefing
an agent though a torturous swarm of mosquitoes in a jungle
shack-Trabue's story highlights both the humor and the
intrinsic danger of conducting CIA covert activities. Writing from a unique perspective framed by his uncommon
longevity and broad experience, for which he was awarded the
Career Intelligence Medal, Trabue's memoir unveils the CIA's
use of polygraph and interrogation to validate recruited
spies' bona fides and information obtained through their
acts of espionage. The Central Intelligence Agency has not approved, endorsed
or authorized this book or the use of the CIA name, seal or
initials.
