The secret’s out, ex-CIA director William Burns is writing memoir, and it’ll be ‘riveting’
Joe Biden’s Central Intelligence Agency chief is penning a memoir, Diplomat Spy, to be published by Random House, which calls it riveting
Former CIA director and Biden cabinet official William Burns is working on a book about his years leading the intelligence agency.
Random House announced on June 3 that it would publish Burns’ Diplomat Spy: A Memoir of Espionage in Revolutionary Times. The release date is still to be determined.
A veteran diplomat, he was a key adviser to Biden on Russia, Ukraine and other parts of the world.
According to Random House, Burns’ book is “a riveting first-hand account of dealing with the most difficult foreign adversaries in the most difficult crises, a candid look at the personal and professional pressures which come with espionage, and a reflection on the future of intelligence at a time of rapid technological change and relentless attacks on public institutions”.
