Publisher Description

James Bamford, the bestselling author of The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets, unveils a hidden cabal of foreign powers that have spied against America to reveal the incredible spygames, secrets, and cyberweapons they’ve hatched, unlocked, and stolen--and how U.S. intelligence has utterly failed to stop them.
 
SPYFAIL is about the highly dangerous and growing capability of foreign countries to conduct large-scale espionage within the United States and how the FBI and other agencies have failed to prevent it. These covert operations involve a variety of foreign countries—North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and others—and include cyberattacks, espionage, psychological warfare, the infiltration of presidential campaigns, the smuggling of nuclear weapons components, and other incredibly nefarious actions. 
 
With his trademark deep investigative style, James Bamford digs as deep as one can go into these clandestine invasions and attacks, uncovering who’s involved, how these spygames were carried out, and why none of this was stopped. Full of revelations, SPYFAIL includes access to previously secret and withheld documents, such as never-before-seen parts of the Mueller Report, and interviews with confidential sources. 
 
Throughout this stunning, eye-opening account, SPYFAIL demonstrates again and again how large a role politics, special interests, and corruption play in allowing these shocking foreign intrusions to continue—leaving America and its secrets vulnerable and undefended.

Just Wow!

A most fascinating and in-depth look at the world of spying. It points out a lot of mistakes - especially in the NSA - which have set the country back many years. But the relationship between Israel and the U.S. as discussed here, is the important message of the book. And how Israel has manipulated the press, the public, Congress, and the presidency, for years, fills in a lot of what we suspect has led us to the current precarious world situation, especially in Palestine. Spying is everywhere, and this is a great 21st Century overview. And I couldn’t put it down, although it’s a fairly dense read, as it ties together so many of the current news stories in international relations.
