Welcome to War of Wits Publishing, Ltd. formed in 1998 to facilitate the writing, publishing and promotion of books, periodicals, and articles dealing with the workings of the Central Intelligence Agency, the US Army and the US Army Special Forces.

The book War of Wits written by journalist, author, and spy, Ladislas Farago, inspired the name. A member of the intelligence community I'd unknowingly been working with told me that Farago's book was the bible on intelligence work and advised me to read it. He also told me that my job as an international bloodstock agent was the perfect cover for a spy.

In addition to the nonfiction novel Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs written by Grayston L. Lynch, a great American patriot and hero, who you will learn more about on these web pages, and the fiction spy novel, The Game of Lies by Karen A. Lynch; War of Wits Publishing, Ltd has also been the editor and publisher of the John Wayne Chapter of the U.S. Army Special Forces (state of Florida chapter) and the Suncoast Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (based out of MacDill Air Force Base) international award winning newsletters.

The purpose of this site is to promote Decision for Disaster and The Game of Lies, the sequels to each of the fore mentioned books, and Karen A. Lynch's latest book which is in the works, The Fish Are Running; The Untold Secret Stories of CIA Maritime Operations.

This site also hopes to engender in its visitors a better understanding of intelligence work and the people involved in the industry. And, to help fledgling writers of any genre develop their craft.

Please visit our site often, as we hope to provide writers with information on the craft of writing through classes, references to other sites, and contacts, which we hope will facilitate their writing and help promote their work. And, join our blogs, where we hope to carry on unique, intelligent, informative, and hopefully, not heated, discussions, on the subjects of intelligence, writing and horses.
