A National Geographic fieldworker based in Los Angeles, Theroux doubled as a practitioner of a hidden profession-translation-and found kindred spirits in other hidden professionals, the stunt actors who double as movie stars. When he takes things a step further, into the entirely covert world of intelligence, he gives us a guided tour of the upside-down world where fame is anathema and career success is measured by deeper and darker assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by Hollywood memoirs that explain the world of movie making in nuts-and-bolts fashion to cinema buffs, Theroux writes In Obscura as a nuts-and-bolts account of what CIA officers do all day-whether they report to work at Headquarters, the White House, or a war zone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.28 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 04, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48737169998072,"sku":"9798990449701","price":26.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/DZzaU_EOlb9798990449701.webp?v=1780278625","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/in-obscura-part-i-adventures-in-the-world-of-intelligence-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
