Nor would I have believed that a book of such towering scholarship could still be so lucid and exciting to read."-Daniel Schorr"This is one of the best short histories of the CIA in print, up-to-date and based on a wide range of sources."-Walter Laqueur"Judicious and reasonable. . . . A sophisticated study that should challenge us to take a more serious view about how our democracy formulates its foreign policy."-David P. Calleo, New York Times Book ReviewA brief, yet subtle and penetrating, account of the Central Intelligence Agency."-Leonard Bushkoff, Christian Science Monitor"Subtle and crisply written. . . .
