"Durante los últimos sesenta años, la CIA ha conseguido mantener una excelente reputación a pesar de su terrible trayectoria, escondiendo sus errores en archivos de alto secreto. Ahora, Tim Weiner, ganador del Pulitzer por sus trabajos periodísticos sobre los servicios secretos estadounidenses, nos ofrece la historia definitiva de la CIA. A partir de más de cincuenta mil documentos y cientos de entrevistas, [este libro] reconstruye la apasionante historia de la agencia secreta maś famosa y temida del mundo, desde su creación tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta el colapso de 11 de septiembre. [Es] una obra fundamental para entender la segunda mitad del sigle XX."--
Here is the hidden history of the CIA: why eleven presidents and three generations of CIA officers have been unable to understand the world; why nearly every CIA director has left the agency in worse shape than he found it; and how these failures have profoundly jeopardized our national security. For sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world--when it did not succeed, it set out to change the world instead. Now Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIA, based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central Intelligence.--From publisher description of the English ed.
