Hello. Hello and welcome to Spycast from the Secret Files of the International Spy Museum in Washington,

D.C. I'm Peter Ernest, the Executive Director of the Museum. I served for some

36 years in the Central Intelligence Agency, largely as what is called an operations officer

or a case officer.

Every month will be bringing you interesting talks

with visitors, with authors, with others who

have something to do with the world of intelligence

My guest today is Shirley Perry.

And Shirley Perry has just written a memoir called After Many Days, and this is by Hell Gate, published by Hell Gate Press and it should be available in bookstores very shortly. I believe it's on Amazon already, is it not surely?
