Legacy of Ashes

The History of the CIA

von Weiner, Tim   (Autor)

This book charts the disastrous course of never-revealed secret operations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. It shows that the CIA's vaunted victories in the cold war - coups that overthrew constitutional leaders in Iran and Guatemala - were chaotic fights that succeeded only by deadly force. It exposes the buying and selling of the political leaders of world powers. It details how Presidents from Harry Truman to George W. Bush have abused and misused the CIA. It shows how the CIA deteriorated over the decades into an incapable and incoherent service whose deepest secret was its own weakness and ineptitude.

Produktbeschreibung

With shocking revelations that made headlines in papers across the country, Pulitzer-Prize-winner Tim Weiner gets at the truth behind the CIA and uncovers here why nearly every CIA Director has left the agency in worse shape than when he found it; and how these profound failures jeopardize our national security. 

Kritik

"Must reading for anyone interested in the CIA or American intelligence since World War II."
The Washington Post

Legacy of Ashes is the best book I've yet read on the CIA's covert actions."
Edward Jay Epstein, The Wall Street Journal

"Legacy of Ashes should be must-reading for every presidential candidate and every American who wants to understand why the nation repeatedly stumbles into one disaster abroad after another.
The Boston Globe

A timely and vital contribution . . . [that] glitters with relevance.
Los Angeles Times

This is by far the scariest book of the year.
The Christian Science Monitor
