A “splendidly written, impeccably researched, and perfectly fascinating” look at clandestine operations from colonial times to the Cuban Missile Crisis (The Washington Post Book World). We’ve always depended on intelligence gathering to drive foreign policy in peacetime and command decision in war—but that work has often taken place in the shadows. Honorable Treachery fills in these details in our national history, dramatically recounting every important intelligence operation from our nation’s birth into the early 1960s. Among numerous other stories, the book recounts how in 1795, President Washington mounted a covert operation to ransom American hostages in the Middle East; how in 1897, Kaiser Wilhelm II’s plans for an invasion of the United States were stopped by the director of the US Office of Naval Intelligence; and how President Woodrow Wilson created a secret agency called the Inquiry to compile intelligence for the peace negotiations at the end of World War I. From a Pulitzer Prize finalist who himself worked for the CIA, Honorable Treachery puts America’s use of covert intelligence into a broader historical context, providing a unique insight into the secret workings of our country. “O’Toole offers fascinating information generally unrecorded in traditional diplomatic and military histories.” —Library Journal

My parents and I belonged to Sergei’s werewolf clan. We lived by the Russia-Alaska border. When Sergei, our alpha-male, announced he was moving the clan to Alaska, it didn’t make sense to me. Our new village looked just like the one in Russia. A few months later I was hunting lynx, mountain lions, moose, and polar bears. One night I felt like going to my favorite spot by the river; I snuck out of the cabin while my parents were sleeping. I turned into a wolf and started running in the direction of the river. The fresh snow made me enjoy myself very much. Half an hour later I arrived at my destination; one of my favorite trees had a hole on the bottom, and I kept winter clothes there. When I was done dressing, I climbed up and sat on one of the branches. Snow was falling from the trees around me; the river was frozen, but I still liked it. A pair of rabbits were digging holes close by. I was a little bit of a loner, and my behavior was probably perceived as strange to others, but not to me. All of a sudden I heard loud voices and laughter. I spotted a brunette girl running away from a group of boys. She was extremely fast; seconds later her werewolf scent gave her away.
