Book Overview
Since its creation in 1947 the CIA has been at the heart of the American security apparatus. It has provided all Presidents since Harry Truman with secret intelligence and the capability for covert interventions in foreign states, in war and peace. It has also been the subject of significant national and international controversies, most recently over its treatment of terror suspects. And it has been bedevilled by accusations of poor performance and failure, most notably recently over the 9/11 attacks and subsequently over Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. This collection chronicles the evolution of the agency, its remarkable successes, its clandestine operations, and its ongoing struggle to maintain American security in an age of proliferating threats.
