This book was really hard to find on the internet.I had searched popular p2p search engines like Piratebay,Kat.cr,extratorrent.ag etc to no avail,I had also done extensive google search so obviously it was not there also,done different searching tricks like extension search but it was not there also.
Finally when I had almost given up on finding this book (I was going through a phase where I had craving to read spy and espionage novels ) I found that my favourite torrent client tixati(https://www.tixati.com) had a feature called Channels which is actually IRC client on disguise It had great indexes to communities like games,books whose members can share file with each other.There is a IRC host by name of Books that host people who share ebooks file.That is where when I searched for this book ,and found it.Its was stroke of luck.
So,Bottom line If something digital is put on the internet it can always be retrived you just have to know where to look for it.

From Goodreads :
In this era of email intercepts and drone strikes, many believe that the spy is dead. What use are double agents and dead letter boxes compared to the all-seeing digital eye?They couldn't be more wrong. The spying game is changing, but the need for walking, talking sources who gather secret information has never been more acute. And they are still out there.

In this searing modern history of espionage, Stephen Grey takes us from the CIA's Cold War legends, to the agents who betrayed the IRA, through to the spooks inside Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Techniques and technologies have evolved, but the old motivations for betrayal - patriotism, greed, revenge, compromise - endure. This is a revealing story of how spycraft and the 'human factor' survive, against the odds.
Based on years of research and interviews with hundreds of secret sources, many of the stories in the book have never been fully told. The New Spymasters will appeal to fans of John le Carre, Jason Bourne and Ben Macintyre.
