For the last 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. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President
Eisenhower, “a legacy of ashes.”
Now Pulitzer Prize–winning author Tim Weiner offers the first
definitive history of the CIA—and everything is on the record.
LEGACY OF ASHES is based on more than 50,000 primarily from
the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews
with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central
Intelligence. It takes the CIA from its creation after World
War II, through its battles in the cold war and the war on
terror, to its near-collapse after 9/ll.
Tim Weiner’s past on the CIA and American intelligence was
hailed as “impressively reported” and “immensely entertaining”
in The New York Times.
The Wall Street Journal called it “truly extraordinary . . .
the best book ever written on a case of espionage.” 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.
