My book "The Spy in the Archive: How one man tried to kill the KGB" is out today in the US and I'm so pleased to see this review in the New York Times. "What makes Corera’s book original is that he shows the U.S.S.R.’s demise from the vantage point of its security services."

MORE FUN THAN THE BUDGET! I recently recorded an episode of @triclassified with @mccloskeybooks and @gordoncorera on Kim Philby's influence on spy fiction Now I've written about Philby for the Rest is Classified newsletter, which goes out tomorrow. You can sign up here: therestisclassified.com/news…

Bond or Bourne? Director Paul Greengrass has a clear answer. He joins @gordoncorera and @mccloskeybooks to discuss the making of the Bourne films, how 9/11 reshaped spy stories, and why he turned down the chance to direct Bond. piped.video/ClrzGoReY-w

A great profile of my co-host though it does look like he might hit someone with that bat........he's obviously just back from a game of rounders or whatever they call it in America.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 How close are NATO and Russia to actually going to war? @gordoncorera and @mccloskeybooks cut through the headlines, using their intelligence expertise and inside sources to assess what Russia is really doing and how serious the threat truly is.

He's back. MI6's greatest traitor returns to @triclassified podcast as we finish the story of Kim Philby. We pick up with him in Washington as liaison to the new CIA. Episode 1 includes possibly the worst dinner party in history when old friend Guy Burgess drops by......

What exactly happened on 9/11? A harrowing watch, remembering and honouring all those whose lives were tragically taken 25 years ago today. piped.video/DE8PsHd66DM

I knew a lot about 9/11. Two days after the attack, I was sent back to FBI Headquarters from the field because I had some experience in terrorism investigations. I'd spend the next two years there and overseas involved in the investigation and efforts to stop another attack. This six-part podcast series with @mccloskeybooks and @gordoncorera is an exceptional high-level review about what we knew, what happened, and how we responded. Highly recommend.

Russia’s confrontation with the West extends far beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. Assassinations, sabotage, espionage, political interference and disinformation have all formed part of Russia’s shadow war against the West. But how has this toolkit evolved since the end of the Cold War, and has Britain done enough to respond? In the latest episode of World, Interrupted, @ZoeSwanwick speaks to @gordoncorera, former BBC Security Correspondent and co-host of the Rest is Classified, about Britain’s changing relationship with Russia.
