A Spy's Guide to Santa Fe and Albuquerque by E B Held

In this fascinating guide, former CIA agent E. B. Held uses declassified documents from both the CIA and KGB, as well as secondary sources, to trace some of the most notorious spying events in United States history.

E B Held is a narrator. As a retired CIA operations officer, he has been invited to talk at a variety of locations, ranging from Stanford University and the University of New Mexico Law School to high schools and elementary schools, retiree groups to youth groups, and a variety of company groups, including Fortune 100 conferences and small business civic association breakfasts. The Real James Bond: Sidney Reilly and the Origins of Modern Espionage -The Perfect Tragedy: A Spy's Guide to the Kennedy Assassination -The Cuban Missile Crisis: A Secret Intelligence Viewpoint -Center Stage: New Mexico's Astonishing Role in Modern Espionage -Some Guilty, Some Not: Julius Rosenberg, Ted Hall, and J. Edgar Hoover -Some Guilty, Some Not: Julius Rosenberg From February 2010 to December 2012, Robert Oppenheimer Held was Director of Intelligence and Counterintelligence for the Department of Energy and DOE-owned national laboratories. A Spy's Guide to the Kennedy Assassination (2013) is Held's second book.

The killing of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 was a true tragedy in the Greek sense of the word, a serious play with a tragic finale brought about by fate-driven principal characters. Held's book vividly depicts the catastrophe, with images of significant persons' homes and key events, as well as guided walking tours of Georgetown, New Orleans, and, of course, Dallas. His debut book, A Spy's Guide to Santa Fe and Albuquerque, chronicles New Mexico's startling role in modern espionage. Few Americans consider New Mexico to be a hotbed of spy-vs-spy intrigue, but the KGB's single greatest intelligence meeting, its single greatest counterintelligence coup, and the plotting of its most infamous assassination all occurred within one mile of Bishop Lamy's monument in front of Saint Francis Church in Santa Fe.

Held's book offers guided walking tours of major espionage sites in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, as well as other anecdotes.
