This is a good book, well researched and presented, with some very interesting factoids included. While not on the same esoteric and outstanding level as Jane Mayer's book, Dark Money, or David Talbot's recent book, The Devil's Chessboard, it is still well recommended. [I especially liked her presenting of the perfidy of the Clinton administration against Dr. Wen Ho Lee, kept in solitary confinement - - shackled hand and foot - - for 278 days, then found not guilty and released - - most probably a move by the Clinton administration to privatize the nuke labs and reward the managing to their cronies, and also that McCone, Kennedy's CIA director replacement for Dulles who was there during his murder in Dallas, sat on the board of ITT when Salvador Allende of Chile was killed!]
