Moran, Lindsay. Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy. New York: Putnam, 2005.

According to Albion, Washington Post, 16 Jan. 2005, the author "lifts the lid on her cloak-and-dagger adventures from 1998 to 2003, when she underwent an education in espionage and then put her new skills to work in Macedonia.... Moran provides an unusually candid glimpse into the operational training and culture of America's clandestine services.... But this glimpse is intensely personal and takes place within the familiar story of a young woman's journey toward emotional fulfillment."

Shane, NYT, 15 Mar. 2005, finds that the author's memoir is a "breez[y] read, with lots of detail about her love life.... Martha Sutherland, who spent 18 years with the agency..., was outraged that Ms. Moran's book recounts clandestine service training in detail." However, Moran "noted that everything in her book was cleared by the agency."

For Hedley, Studies 49.3 (2005), this book "illustrates how a clever ex-employee can capitalize on the CIA’s undeniable mystique. One looks in vain for a serious message in her one-dimensional put-down of the Agency’s operational training." However, "for a general readership she is a facile writer who comes across as a breezy romantic.... Moran’s cheeky style and brisk prose makes for a good read."

Moravec, Frantisek. Master of Spies: The Memoirs of General Frantisek Moravec. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1975. London: Bodley Head, 1975.

Pforzheimer notes that Moravec was "head of Czechoslovak Military Intelligence from 1937-1945.... Although discreet, it is one of the finest memoirs of its kind by a first-class intelligence officer."

To Constantinides, the work is "one of the important memoirs of intelligence." The stories told by Moravec include that of agent A-54 (Paul Thümmel) and the acquisition of German plans for the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Moreira, Peter. Hemingway on the China Front: His WWII Spy Mission with Martha Gellhorn. Dulles, VA: Potomac, 2006.

Miller, IJI&C 21.2 (Summer 2008), notes that this work concerns a trip Hemingway and Gellhorn made to China from January to May 1941. "At the behest of Harry Dexter White," Hemingway had "agreed to 'spy' for the Treasury Department." This is a "lively and informative book"; and it draws "memorable profiles of two accomplished writers at work and the limits and vagaries of American intelligence-gathering on the China front."

The remains of Charles G. Herrick were buried at Arlington National Cemetery on 25 June 2003. Herrick was shot down over Laos in 1963, while flying for Air America. "The return of the remains of Herrick and [Joseph] Cheney [pilot of the Air America plane on which Herrick was co-pilot] is the latest success story in a U.S. government effort to locate the remains of 1,874 Americans missing and unaccounted for from the Vietnam War era."

Moreno, Jonathan D. Undue Risk: Secret State Experiments on Humans. New York: W. H. Freeman, 1999.

Cohen. FA 79.2, sees the title as "somewhat misleading, given that this book deals primarily with the United States, with only passing references to Germany, Iraq, and the Soviet Union." However, "the material is chilling..., recounting the use of human subjects for ghastly experiments during the Cold War.... Moreno makes clear that American civilians and military personnel were sometimes exposed to unacceptable risks in various experiments, including those involving lsd injections and plutonium."

Moreno, Sylvia. "An Improbable Spy? Friends Old and New Stunned by Arrest of Reserved, Frugal Defense Analyst." Washington Post, 4 Oct. 2001, A1. [http://www. washingtonpost.com]

"In Washington's world of top-level intelligence briefings, Ana Belen Montes was the go-to person on Cuba. She told people how the communist nation worked. But all the while, federal authorities say, the 44-year-old Defense Intelligence Agency analyst was telling Cuba just how the United States operated, from the identity of undercover agents sent to infiltrate the island to details on military exercises."

"U.S. intelligence sources called [David Sheldon] Boone's security breach serious, but not of the magnitude of the case of CIA agent Aldrich Ames.... Nonetheless, one former Army intelligence officer said the Boone case was significant. 'During this critical transition period in Eastern Europe,' the officer said, 'he is giving the Russians tactical information about how good we are at monitoring their communications and breaking their codes.'"
