Isn't it remarkable how politics drove reconnaissance satellite technology development (Chapter 2) and how one traitor betrayed its use (Chapter 7)? I purchased this book to understand the history of the effort to enhance America's ability to collect satellite-reaped information on threats to her security. The author has done well to write this book as he has nothing to extoll, nothing to disparage, just tell it like it was. This book shows that, in spite of the elephantine bureaucracy that is the Federal Government, critically important work is accomplished by a lot of sincere, dedicated people.
About that picture on page 148 showing the entrance to the headquarters of the National Reconnaissance Office. Two closed steel doors, that's a hoot!
