SpyCatcher: The Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Officer [Spy Catcher]

392 pp. Peter Maurice Wright (August 9, 1916 - April 27, 1995) was a scientist and former MI5 counterintelligence officer noted for writing the controversial book Spycatcher, which became an international bestseller with sales of over 2 million. Spycatcher was part memoir, part expose of what Wright claimed to be serious institutional failings in MI5 and his subsequent investigations into it. He was a friend and a poker buddy of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton.
