Buy Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA Illustrated by Weiner, Tim (ISBN: 9780307389008) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: An engaging and revealing read from start to finish. - Typically US writing style but filled with details and cross referencing that made this entire book an engaging read. I personally enjoyed the level of detail supported by factual referencing u deepened by personal reflection and operational experience. Has encouraged me to read his follow-up ‘The Mission’. Anyone with an interest in 20th Century politics post WWII this is a must read.
Review: 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.
