"""Lewis intertwines several Cold War years of U.S. business history, bureaucratic-administrative history, and strategic intelligence history in a combination that has no precedent for revelatory, engaging, and exciting detail."" H. Bradford Westerfield, Yale University ""By far the most comprehensive and definitive description of the symbiotic relationship between the corporate world and the CIA's early space-based intelligence collection program. The quality of research is extraordinary."" William E. Burrows, author of Deep Black and By Any Means Necessary ""This fast-paced story reads like a cross between good spy fiction and a business school case study. Rich in detail, it chronicles the reality of government working with the private sector."" Frederick P. Hitz, Princeton University, and former Inspector General, CIA (1990-1998)"
