blurb
For sixty years, the CIA world politics - and with incomprehensible incompetence and naivete. What did the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner in over twenty years research gathered is spectacular and goes far beyond all recent publications on the CIA out. It covers the unknown truth behind many major historical events, the first time the entire history of the CIA documents knowledgeable and completely. A book, gripping as a thriller.
My opinion
Prior to reading this book, my picture of the CIA from various movies and series marked. I was a heroic, powerful, above all, capable organization to eyes. After reading this book, this has changed. Tim Weiner, the CIA is plausible as an organization that has sometimes their actions saved lives and money, but most have both wasted. About the Soviet Union had been during the whole course of the Cold War are hardly any reliable information, as in many other cases. Often, the operations of the CIA ended in disaster, especially if they are (para-) military commitment.
Weiner presents the history of this organization, at the end, at the beginning of the 21st Century, much less important, is meticulous and detailed, numerous protagonists of the Agency to speak. The detailed appendix, which I have not read underpinned the writing by detailed sources and references.
who has interest in the Agency and its history, and they still want to read prepared exciting, which should access to this book. Tim Weiner has done an excellent job. The division into chapters, sub-chapters and between sections has been possible because the book so it is good at "piecemeal" read.
Rating: A detailed, meticulous, sometimes harrowing account of the history of the once most important secret of the USA. 5 / 5.
