while interesting to read about the institution, I'm not a big fan of the style in which this book is written.

Fun and interesting read if you are into such things. I enjoyed it a few cold winter evenings this last winter. There was something for just about everyone in it. CIA is like a very complex business behind those closed doors. You will learn a lot if you read slow!

A Revealing Turncoat View pg The Company in South America.

February 21, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of The Company in South America. Must be taken with a grain of salt as Agee was a clearly disaffected agent with a skewed lens through which he saw and analyzed his work. Nevertheless a valuable tool for background for writers in the spy genre. Interesting to see how western intelligence services accomplished as much as they did during this era - despite the egos and personal failings. Thankfully more is done today with technology and computers. Then again, they can lie too! Great read

Fascinating and very informative

December 5, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is one of the most interesting books i have ever read,it was written by a CIA defector in the 70s,in the book the author describes his life in the agency since his humble beginnings in the 50s,how he was recruited,trained and indoctrinated with a lot of names and numbers,the whole process fascinates me,i read and re-read this book probably more than 20 times.
It was the middle of the cold war and things were complicated,at some point the author decides to defect to the communist block because of "moral precepts and disagreeances" with the directives of the agency,so he says,wich i don't buy.
Well,anyways,the book is written in a kind of denounce tone,trying to point out the supposed moral flexibility of the agency and the dubious reasons involved in the operations overseas.
So this guy betrayed his country defecting behind the iron curtain because of supposed moral precepts in the middle of the cold war,and tries to justify writting a book,that's lame...
The book is very interesting towards explaining how the CIA used to operate,that's why i gave it 4 stars not because of the author and his stories.
Nevertheless,long story short,this book had a reverse effect in me making me find a new grown respect and admiration for the CIA.
