The Middle East Institute (MEI) is pleased to host MEI non-resident scholar, Douglas London, to launch his memoir, The Recruiter: Spying and the Lost Art of American Intelligence. London is a 34-year veteran of the CIA who worked as a case officer and recruiter of foreign agents before and after 9/11. His memoir provides an invaluable perspective on the state of modern spy craft and how it must continue to evolve. Copies of the book are available for purchase here.
