The Jordan Harbinger Show

Jonna Mendez is a former chief of disguise in the CIA’s Office of Technical Service, and co-author of The Moscow Rules: The Secret CIA Tactics That Helped America Win the Cold War.

On this episode, we’re joined by Jonna Mendez, a former chief of disguise at the CIA’s Office of Technical Service — or, for those of us who have seen James Bond, she was basically Q, but for the CIA during the Cold War.

If you’re fascinated by this period of time, the spy vs. spy espionage that went on between the US and USSR, the cutting-edge technology that came out of it, and how the use of disguises evolved, you’ll want to catch this episode with Jonna and read the book she wrote with her late husband Tony (played by Ben Affleck in the film Argo), The Moscow Rules: The Secret CIA Tactics That Helped America Win the Cold War.
