In his book A Spy's Journey, Paseman traced his overseas tours in Asia and Europe from the 1960s to the 1980s, when he recruited foreign operatives to spy for the United States. Without giving specific names or countries, he detailed dealings with foreign government officials, journalists, KGB officers, drug smugglers and "terrorists".
