Colonel Sidney Mashbir’s AutoBiography, “I Was an American Spy” Now Available on Amazon
It’s a pleasure to announce the publication of the 65th Anniversary Edition of Colonel Sidney Mashbir’s exciting 1953 autobiography:
I Was an American Spy.
Besides being an fascinating story, Colonel Mashbir’s autobiography is almost a textbook in the art of espionage and counter-espionage.
Colonel Mashbir (1891-1973) led an adventurous life – At the age of thirteen, he started his military career as a bugle boy in the Arizona Guard, in the still untamed Arizona Territory. During 1914-1916, he served under General Funston and General Pershing, and went on daring missions across the U.S./Mexican border during the Mexican Revolution, attempting to maintain peace along that border.
