Draws on CIA sources to trace the career of convicted spy Aldrich Ames and the agency's record of incompetence, which allowed Ames to keep his position for nine years. This description may be from another edition of this product.
David Wise displays his through knowledge of the CIA and the business of intelligence in this excellent book. Well written, highly readable. Perhaps the most disturbing element of the story is the refusal of CIA leaders to consider the posibility that someone ( or perhaps more than one) as damaging as Ames was deep inside with access to some of the most potentially damaging secrets. Highly recommended
A must for the definitive cloak and dagger collection...

Not only is this a masterfully written book, but Wise (I suspect) reveals tidbits that many within the ranks of the CIA were surprised to read. Best read in one sitting.
