LEGACY OF ASHES
by Tim Weiner
The Central Intelligence Agency has had plenty of critics over the years, from leftists to neoconservatives, as well as conspiracy theorists of all kinds. Most have denounced the CIA for its oppressive influence on other countries, and the for the shady role it plays in domestic politics. Yet according to Tim Weiner, a veteran intelligence reporter with New York Times, what most of the agency's critics, as well its supporters, have missed is the CIA's overwhelming and unforgivable incompetence. "Legacy of Ashes" is a chronicle of 60 years of bungled operations and inept bureaucracy that Weiner argues has left our country unprepared for the challenges of terrorism and nuclear proliferation.
