| Abstract
|
:
|
"Larry Kolb was born into a house of spies. Raised all over the world as the son of a high-ranking American spymaster, he learned from his father to think, look, and listen like a spy. "The overworld" was his father's term for the powers-that-be, the figures behind the figure-heads who secretly shape the world we live in. Overworld is Larry Kolb's story of his own lifelong, intimate interaction with those powers: how his unusual childhood led to his own decision to turn down the CIA when they first recruited him, and how his ascent in the international business world - becoming, among other things, Muhammad Ali's agent and friend - became his unlikely path back into the world of espionage."

"Unlike any book before it, Overworld casts in genuinely human terms what it means and feels like to be a spy. From the practical to the emotional, it reveals how the world of espionage and covert statecraft actually works, and exposes the dark heart of a life built on betrayals."--Jacket.
