Description

The failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has riveted America’s attention once again on the issue of secret intelligence -- how it is gathered and evaluated, and how it is used to determine policies. To understand the current crisis of the CIA, we need to know how the intelligence bus. works. The essays collected here tell stories of shadowy successes, ghastly failures, and gripping uncertainties. They range from the exploits of “Wild Bill” Donovan’s OSS during World War II, through the CIA’s long cold war struggle with Russia, to the failure to prevent the attacks of 9/11. Here too are the Kennedys with their fixation on getting rid of Castro; and real, suspected, and imagined Communist spies, moles, and double agents.
