Looking for non-#coronavirus reading while shut in this weekend? Can I plug recent works by two pals? First, my old colleague from Pentagon press corps @apessin has a great spy novel out, "Sandblast". Fun and full of inside knowledge about US military: https://www.amazon.com/Sandblast-Al-Pessin/dp/0786046716

@TomMcTague Michael Shaara novel of Gettysburg (The Killer Angels) is a masterpiece. His son rounded out the trilogy. No idea if they're in audio, though... https://t.co/8M1cWOXY0b

With death today of onetime Soviet mole Robert #Hanssen, I dug out my copy of "Spy" (by the late espionage writer David Wise). It opens with an amazing account of how the @FBI, after two top Soviet spies were executed in Moscow, launched a mole hunt - headed by Robert Hanssen: https://t.co/v2UuHjuPuC
