Intelligence Wars: American Secret History from Hitler to Al-QaedaNew York Review Books, 2002 - Всего страниц: 450 These essays about U.S. intelligence services, from Thomas Powers -- acknowledged secret intelligence authority and Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist -- trace a history of brilliant successes, ghastly failures, and gripping uncertainties. They range from the exploits of Wild Bill Donovan during World War II, to the CIAs elaborate cold war struggles with the KGB, to debates about the role of secret intelligence in the postcold war world. Here too are analyses of the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Kennedy assassination, William Caseys years as CIA director under Ronald Reagan, the Aldrich Ames scandal, and such urgent contemporary issues as whether the CIA is up to the challenge of defending America against terrorism. |
