A provocative, highly instructive and extremely interesting book by Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner is dedicated to the 60-year history of the CIA. The study is based on thousands of archival documents, interviews with active agents, veterans and former heads of the main American spy agency. The author describes without embellishment the military operations of the CIA in Cuba, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other countries, reveals the secret sides of the relations between two great powers - the USSR and the USA - during the Cold War.

It tells about management errors within the agency, the thoughtless squandering of a colossal budget and how the CIA's miscalculations affected the state of US national security, the consequence of which was the tragedy of September 11, 2001. It warns of the dangerous inability to see the world as it is, which is unacceptable given the threat of global terrorism.
