Lobo. Un topo en las entrañas de ETA

Olvidaos de la película, es inventada en el 85% de todo lo que cuenta, se inspira en la historia de Lobo, pero no es una narración de los hechos. Lo que realmente vale es el libro, escrito por dos periodistas, Manuel Cerdán y Antonio Rubio, que también hicieron un reportaje de varios capítulos para Antena 3. El libro es muy ameno de leer, la primera mitad cuenta la historia de la infiltración en ETA y la otra mitad el resto de la correrías de Mikel Lejarza hasta prácticamente hoy en día.


Lo podeis comprar en Casa del Libro, por menos de 9€:

Como curiosidad, me leí este libro nada mas publicarse, y aprovechando los descansos de después de comer. En el restaurante al que iba me tocó bastantes veces comer al lado de Arnaldo Otegui, Joseba Permach, Jone Goirizelaia, etc. Es decir, que devoraba el menú del día junto a ellos y después en el coche, frente al bar, y bajo la fina lluvia guipuzcoana me leía las andanzas de Mikel Lejarza. Cuando terminé el libro estuve pensando en dejarlo en la mesa de estos personajes, ya que siempre solía llegar antes que ellos, menuda cara que se les habría quedado. Al final no lo hice por no darle un disgusto a la camarera, que la buena mujer me trataba con mucho cariño.


Un saludo,

The Big Breach

Es la autobiografía de un miembro del Servicio de Inteligencia Secreto británico (SIS, MI6), en el que lo cuenta absolutamente todo, desde su reclutamiento, entrenamiento, ascenso, misiones (Rusia, Yugoslavia, etc).

Lo narra de forma muy amena, el inglés es sencillo, cuenta las peripecias de sus compañeros durante el entrenamiento, chascarrillos y una tonelada de información sobre el SIS.

Por publicar este libro el autor se ha metido en un tremendo jaleo jurídico con el SIS, aunque de momento siempre ha salido ganando.

In Confidence: Moscow's Ambassador to Six Cold War Presidents

Imagen

In Confidence: Moscow's Ambassador to Six Cold War Presidents by Anatoliy Fedorovich Dobrynin; University of Washington Press; ISBN: 0295980818; (May 2001)

"This book is an incredibly insightful and very balanced view of the Cold War and the warriors themselves, both in the USSR and the US. Dobrynin gives a balanced view of the mistakes that people in both countries made, as well as where they succeeded. I especially found the description of the Cuban Missile Crisis fascinating, as well as Moscow's reaction to Watergate and the resignation of Nixon." (review source: Amazon.com)

Military Intelligence Blunders

Imagen

Military Intelligence Blunders by John Hughes-Wilson, Colonel John Hughes-Wilson; Carroll & Graf; ISBN: 0786707151; (February 2000)

"In this controversial, eye-opening book, a long-serving professional military intelligence officer examines and analyzes the mistakes in military judgment that have resulted in some of the major catastrophes in the air, at sea, and on the battlefield since the crushing defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.

Colonel John Hughes-Wilson not only explores how events have conspired to cause disasters in modern military history but also demonstrates why-and the reason more often than not lies in the failure of politicians and seasoned generals alike to understand and appreciate fully the value of crucial intelligence information. Hughes-Wilson shows how, for one instance, American bureaucratic bungling and inter-service rivalries collaborated with the Japanese in their devastating attack on Pearl Harbor-despite the fact that the US was monitoring Japan's top-secret radio traffic-and he reveals why, for another, the Viet Cong's Tet Offensive of 1968 took the world's most technologically advanced army completely by surprise.

In Hitler's Berlin, as in Saddam Hussein's Baghdad, this book discloses the lapses, errors, miscalculations, and underestimations of military intelligence that have shaped our wars and defined our times." (review source: Amazon.com)

Body of Secrets : Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency

Imagen

Body of Secrets : Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency, by James Bamford. Publisher: Anchor; (April 30, 2002), ISBN: 0385499086

"Everybody knows about the CIA--the cloak-and-dagger branch of the U.S. government. Many fewer are familiar with the National Security Agency, even though it has been more important to American espionage in recent years than its better-known counterpart. The NSA is responsible for much of the intelligence gathering done via technology such as satellites and the Internet. Its home office in Maryland "contains what is probably the largest body of secrets ever created." Little was known about the agency's confidential culture until veteran journalist James Bamford blew the lid off in 1982 with his bestseller The Puzzle Palace. Still, much remained in the shadows. In Body of Secrets, Bamford throws much more light on his subject--and he reveals loads of shocking information. The story of the U-2 crisis in 1960 is well known, including President Eisenhower's decision to tell a fib to the public in order to protect a national-security secret. Bamford takes the story a disturbing step forward, showing how Eisenhower "went so far as to order his Cabinet officers to hide his involvement in the scandal even while under oath. At least one Cabinet member directly lied to the committee, a fact known to Eisenhower." Even more worrisome is another revelation, from the Kennedy years: "The Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of anticommunism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba." Body of Secrets is an incredible piece of journalism, and it paints a deeply troubling portrait of an agency about which the public knows next to nothing. Fans of The Sword and the Shield will want to read it, as will anybody who is intrigued by conspiracies and real-life spy stories. --John J. Miller" (Review source: Amazon.com)

Se me ocurre recomendar "El Archivo Mytrokiyn", no lo encuentro en castellano, pero si en ingles, frances y ruso.

Tambien "Cazador de Espias" de Peter Wright, un antiguo director del 5 de MI.

Un saludo.

Especialmente La Casa, muy recomendable. Ka, un poco más flojito.

En cuanto a KA, me resulta muy curiosa la figura del killer, bien propio de "La Casa", bien contratado had oc para un trabajo específico. ¿Se seguirá utilizando? A saber...

Es bueno saber como en esa época el CESID se infiltraba en grupos de extrema derecha y gerruillas en Latinoamérica, algo quizás desconocido y que muy posiblemente se puede seguir haciendo en la actualidad.

Por otro lado veo que el libro reveló en su día muchas operaciones sensibles del Centro y también algunos datos peligrosos para la época, desde empresas pantalla hasta personal asesinado, espiado, etc.
