Yeah, that's exactly what I though too when I originally read this on a Finnish paper. It literally was like: "The author uses pseudonym blahblahblah, but his real name is confirmed to be yadayadayada." It's the first time I remember such case of a pseudonym being made useless already when it's published the first time. Sort of defeats the purpose.

Would be interesting to know how they figured it out so quickly. If I'm not completely mistaken, usually the names of the personnel participating in operations like this are classified in the first place? I wouldn't put it past the author of a book like this to have his loose lips work against him.
