John Mätter@unreservist @UnclearPod I mean, Clear and Present Danger...one of the greats. And absolutely about Iran-Contra, no matter what Tom Clancy once told John Poindexter. But that's another story. ;)

The Eiger Sanction
TrevanianExpanded my spy movie education with The Eiger Sanction. I can't speak for the novel, but the film feels like it burped out of a mid-70s cultural stew of paranoia, misogyny, and thrill-seeking. Recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072926/
