ⓘ About Charles McCarry
McCarry served in the United States Army, where he was a correspondent for Stars & Stripes, was a speech writer in the Eisenhower administration, and was a small-town newspaperman. From 1958 to 1967 he worked for the CIA, under deep cover in places such as Europe, Africa, and Asia. His cover, however, was not as a journalist or writer. Charles contributed several pretty important pieces to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, as well as other national publications, and was editor-at-large for National Geographic. Charles believed that the best novels are just about every day, ordinary things like death, love, loneliness, fatherhood, trust, and marriage. These were the themes that he also tried to write about.
