THE PEACOCK AND THE SPARROW is out now in paperback. Joseph Weisberg, creator of The Americans, calls it "the most realistic espionage story I've read." Hope you will check it out. @AtriaMysteryBus @ITWDebutAuthors @AtriaBooks @simonschuster #thepeacockandthesparrow

Lovely review of The CIA Book Club in @washingtonpost. Tremendous thanks to @isberryauthor. #theciabookclub

The "best kept secret" of the Cold War is what one historian called the @CIA's covert book-smuggling program behind the Iron Curtain. What a pleasure to review @CharlieEnglish1's terrific new nonfiction, THE CIA BOOK CLUB, for @washingtonpost. washingtonpost.com/books/2025/07/…

isberryauthor's tweet card. Charlie English provides a fascinating account of how the agency smuggled Camus, Orwell and Vonnegut behind the Iron Curtain in “The CIA Book Club.”
