I like historic fiction and mysteries, and this was both. I enjoyed it very much. The period of the Dissolution seems to be comparable to the corruption in politics in every generation.

This was a very interesting discussion of the mistakes made in the operations of the CIA over the past several decades. No wonder we have had disasters and extremely poor intelligence.
