Description

Running spy networks overseas. Tracking down terrorists in the Middle East. Interrogating enemy prisoners. Analyzing data from spy satellites and intercepted phone calls. All these are vital intelligence tasks that traditionally have been performed by government officials. But that is no longer the case. Here, investigative reporter Tim Shorrock lifts the veil off a major story the government doesn’t want us to know about -- the massive outsourcing of top-secret intelligence activities to private-sector contractors who are answerable to investors rather than to Congress and the American people. Updated with a new Afterword. A “Washington Post” Best Book of 2008. “A disturbing overview of the intelligence community.” “A definitive book.”
