Provocative, highly instructive, and extremely interesting, the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Tim Weiner is dedicated to the 60-year history of the CIA. The research is based on thousands of archival documents, interviews with current agents, veterans, and former leaders of the main American intelligence agency. The author candidly describes CIA military operations in Cuba, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and many other countries, revealing the secret aspects of the relationship between the two great powers - the USSR and the USA - during the Cold War period. He talks about management mistakes within the agency, the mindless squandering of a colossal budget, and how CIA miscalculations affected the state of US national security, leading to the tragedy of September 11, 2001. He warns of the dangerous inability to see the world as it is, which is unacceptable in the face of the threat of global terrorism.
