Safe for democracy : the secret wars of the CIA
"From its founding in the aftermath of World War II, the Central Intelligence Agency has been involved in some of the most crucial - and most embarrassing - episodes in United States relations with the world. Safe for Democracy for the first time places the story of the CIA's covert operations squarely in the context of America's global quest for democratic values and institutions. National security historian John Prados offers the most comprehensive and definitive history of the CIA's secret wars that is possible today. Drawing on three decades of research, he illuminates the men and women of the intelligence establishment, their resources and techniques, and tracks their triumphs and failures across the globe."
