""I have read many books on the CIA, but none more searching and still dispassionate. 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 Review
