A Very Good Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2017

This is a review for a book that really has a specialist interest audience. You must really want to read this book. The information contained within will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about recent history concerning clandestine operations and government intervention in foreign countries. The information provided will have you researching what it reveals. You will be continually asking yourself if that could really happen. I guarantee you will be stunned if you were previously unaware of the actual level of intervention of the USA on other countries affairs and more importantly their drastic failures. If you have a genuine interest in Cloak And Dagger factual events this is a required read. This book is an event. Stick with it and you will get into the mind-set of the writer. I have been used to reading detailed reports all my adult life so I found the book very enjoyable and in a format that was familiar to me. It is not a book I will be lending out. The book costs very little for the information it contains. A very good buy, in my opinion of course.

An absolute revelation. Every page reveals another level of intrigue and deception - but all too often the recipient of the lies are not those one would have expected!! It has re-written my view of post WW2 history. And I'm pretty well-read. Read this book for yourself!! And tell everyone you know to do the same.

Everyone knew about the venality of the CIO's legacy of covert operations.
But I had no idea of the sheer incompetence and negligence that characterise the entire history of the CIA.
From leader to leader, administration to administration, the CIA was a vector for gross malpractice in statesmanship and appalling lack of consideration for allies as well as so-called enemies.
Required reading.

Well worth reading. An important book.

How these people get into positions of power, with the authority over life and death is worth reading about. Proves the point the "intelligence services" is an oxymoron, the stress being on the moron!

Very interesting and eye-opening

In popular tv-series and countless movies, we get brainwashed with the idea that the CIA is an almighty organ of espionage, that could detect anyone, anywhere with the click of a button. This book unveils the actual weakness of the organisation and their numerous failures to predict what was going to happen, since their existence. Well written and easy to read.
