Yossi Cohen, the former head of Mossad, has a book out, The Sword of Freedom. I have only read a few excerpts. I used to read a lot of spy stuff, both fiction and nonfiction. I would have been a terrible spy myself, but in the pre-computer days I would have been a good cryptographer. I don't know what use any intelligence agency would ever have had for me. Maybe I should have gone and knocked on the gate at Camp Peary when I lived down there and see what they had.
Update: Also new from Free Press Born Lucky by a son with High-Functioning Autism whose dad shepherded him into adulthood. Excerpt here
But my dad knew that there wasn’t a teacher or therapist who could step in and suddenly make me fit in. The world wasn’t going to adapt to me, and he wasn’t going to try to make it. There would be no therapists or accommodations. If I was going to succeed, he would have to adapt me to the world.
