HUMINT FOR HUMANITY by JEFFREY SANOW

 HUMINT FOR HUMANITY by JEFFREY SANOW

Humint For Humanity is a wild ride through North Africa, Central Africa, South Asia, and Southern Europe, where Jeffrey and his family experience history, culture shocks, and probably a few questionable meals. It’s not just a travelogue—it’s an inside look at what happens when you say “Why not?” to adventure.

The author starts the book by introducing us to his teen life and why and how he joined the Peace Corps in Africa at the age of 20. Then one by one, his journey through Africa to South Asia to other different parts of the world. He also tells us about his relationship with his wife, now ex-wife, with her children, and all the obstacles he faces with his family in all these places.

But what I like most is the way the author portrays his life without sugarcoating anything, but giving it as it was and is. Especially the description of all the places he visited, the culture, the people, the society, everything in his true nature. And not just the obstacles, the author also shares all the positivity he and his family gain from all these.

His writing is both authoritative and deeply human. It is full of examples from the real world, thoughtful analysis, and a call to action that reaches far beyond intelligence agencies. 

Overall, this book isn’t just a memoir; it’s a philosophy in motion. A must-read for anyone who believes intelligence work can also be a work of the heart.
