This document is page 276 from a book, presenting endnotes for a chapter titled "Through the Looking Glass." The notes cite sources related to espionage and intelligence, including an interview with Snowden, a Chicago Tribune article about spy Pelton, and an author's interview with Victor Cherkashin. A key entry describes the author, Edward Jay Epstein, giving his book on James Jesus Angleton to Russian intelligence officer Victor Cherkashin, noting that Cherkashin's recruitment of moles Ames and Hanssen validated Angleton's theories.
