Doug Patteson: Spy Game

Today’s guest is former CIA case officer Doug Patteson.

Doug retired from the CIA after serving multiple overseas tours where he specialized in human intelligence and counterterrorism. He is currently a professor at the University of New Hampshire.

As a published author, his work has focused on security, travel safety, and intelligence, including pieces for SpotterUp.com and three chapters of the book More Stories from Langley: Another Glimpse Inside the CIA.
