I am sorry I bought and read this book. I figured out early on that it was a political hatchet job, and poorly written to boot.
So many tales of outrageous incompetence and waste and incorrect headedness – all unsubstantiated.
Such hatred for our country this man must have to write such stuff.

I was looking for an accurate history of the CIA. What I read was liberal propaganda. Most everything written is negative in this book, which indicates immediately a strong bias.
I don’t recommend this book at all.

Recently received the book and the pages fell appart after my first sitting with the book. It is now trash. I consider this a scam.

A poorly written muddle of sometimes unrelated facts. Narrative is hard to follow (I gave up and skimmed the last half). While I am no fan of the CIA, I doubt any one agency is this terrible. Lacks balance.

If the leader spent 20 years preparing this book, then there is no excuse for him to give us fake information about G.H.W. Bush, adage “Bush was…not a spy. He knew nearly nothing about intelligence. He was a politician pure and simple.” How could Weiner so be incredibly incorrect? Is he just worried of retrobution from Bush? The reality is that Bush (41) was and is an agency man through and through. George HW Bush was the CIA man written about by J Edgar Hoover when Hoover stated that Bush was in Dallas the day JFK was shot. Bush was questioned about this letter during a Presidential battle by a reporter, and Bush said Hoover must have been talking about “another George Bush”. He wasn’t. Bush has agreed at least 3 different public accounts of his position at the time JFK was shot. Seriously, who doesn’t remember where he was on Nov 22, 1963? Bush was the point man for the Iran Contra affair. Bush was scheduled to have breakfast with John F. Hinkley’s brother the morning that Reagan got shot, because the Bush and Hinkley families had been friends for a long time. George HW Bush has had an on-going relationship with the bin Laden family tree for generations. Bush ongoing effective for the CIA in 1960 or 1961, and used his oil business as his take in. Bush’s company name “Zapata” was used by the CIA as the code name for the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. Later, Bush recruited men from the invasion group to work on the Watergate scandal, and then again with the coverup of the Iran-contra affair. Bush made sure his inept son W became President by throwing his weight around at the Supreme Court. And if his power continues, then his latest words that his son Jeb will be the next president, will sorry to say come to pass as well.
Since Tim Weiner claims that everything he writes in the book is “right” and yet he claims that Bush was by no means a CIA man, shows that Weiner is either lying or very inept in his research of one of the most pivotal men in the history of the CIA.
