Samenvatting
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers, an engaging…richly textured (The New York Times), behind-the-scenes look at what its like to run the worlds most powerful intelligence agency. The best book about the CIA Ive ever read…one hell of a story (Christopher Buckley).
With unprecedented access to more than a dozen individuals who have made the life-and-death decisions that come with running the worlds most powerful and influential intelligence service, Chris Whipple tells the story of an agency that answers to the United States president alone, but whose activitiesspying, espionage, and covert actiontake place on every continent. At pivotal moments, the CIA acts as a counterforce against rogue presidents, starting in the mid-seventies with DCI Richard Helmss refusal to conceal Richard Nixons criminality and through the Trump presidency when a CIA whistleblower ignited impeachment proceedings and armed insurrectionists assaulted the US Capitol.
Since its inception in 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency has been a powerful player on the world stage, operating largely in the shadows to protect American interests. For The Spymasters, Whipple conducted extensive, exclusive interviews with nearly every living CIA director, pulling back the curtain on the worlds elite spy agencies and showing how the CIA partnersor clasheswith counterparts in Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Topics covered in the book include attempts by presidents to use the agency for their own ends; simmering problems in the Middle East and Asia; rogue nuclear threats; and cyberwarfare.
A revelatory, well-researched history, The Spymasters recounts seven decades of CIA activity and elicits predictions about the issuesand threatsthat will engage the attention of future operatives and analysts. Including eye-opening interviews with George Tenet, John Brennan, Leon Panetta, and David Petraeus, as well as those whove recently departed the agency, this is a timely, essential, and important contribution to current events.
