"Four Who Dared: The Early Years of the CIA"

Evan Thomas is the first author or historian ever permitted to read the CIA's own secret histories. This book is a social history, a spy yarn, and a tragedy. It is the story of American hubris, of the corruption of good intentions, of four brave and flawed men who dared too greatly.
