Description

Joseph J. Trento (au). The CIA was founded to battle the Soviet Empire during the Cold War. For over 50 years, hundreds of men & women in the agency have engaged in espionage that was both risky & mysterious, in the name of national security. But the real CIA, as revealed here, was an organization haunted from the very beginning by missed opportunities, internal rivalries, mismanagement, & Soviet moles. Trento peels away the shroud of secrecy that protected the CIA to reveal how the agency suffered from the profoundly human frailties of those who were chosen to lead it. For 10 years he conducted countless interviews with legendary spymasters & pored through top-secret files to compile an engrossing history, rich with colorful characters & chilling intrigue.
