He is also the author of Spies and Saboteurs (Macmillan & St. Martin’s Press, 1999). Jay is a frequent international speaker on EoM, guest lecturing at leading universities, keynoting at conferences, forums, and other professional gatherings, appearing as a panelist, serving as a moderator, and overseeing the organizing of annual Oxford EoM forums, the 7th of which was in February 2023.
