Interesting!

CIA Bosses, not Field Officers !!,
By Sam Jones "RoninExec" (Enghien les Bains France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spymasters: Ten CIA Officers in Their Own Words (Hardcover)
And this is the whole point of this book, nevertheless interesting and well written : Interviewed are only CIA former Directors. So it's really the Bosses pont of view rather than the field operative's one. Mislead by the title, I was not that impressed by the book content. Most of the stories are already old news (some interviews have been published at length), about overtold events such as JFK's assassination or the Bay Of Pigs. If you wanna hear it from the guys doing the actual work, stay away. I wouldn't have bought it if I had seen it on a shelf. But I guess it's one of the risks of online purchasing.
