Produktinformationen zu „Legacy of Ashes “
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.
