    Excellent Book.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2013
    This book is more than a biography of "secret warrior" Theodore Shackley, and it really serves as a decent primer to what America, mostly the Central Intelligence Agency, did in Vietnam and Laos during the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War (which was really a war in Southeast Asia as it grew to encompass conflict in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and North and South Vietnam).
    David Corn is an accomplished author and journalist, and his basic recounting of facts and history is interesting.
    However, there is a creeping bias about Shackley and the people that ran the secret wars. In brief, Corn points a judging finger at Shackley's role in both setting up various covert programs in Laos and, later, what became the Iran-Contra affair.
    The book covers Shackley's entire CIA career, including Shackley's ups and downs from the 1950s through the late 1980s, and, in many ways, that first three decades of the CIA sort of mirrors Shackley's major and minor victories and defeats. So, it is more than just a book on Ted Shackley the spy. The reader is taken from the "cowboy" days of operations in post war Berlin up through the excesses of building a "secret city" in Laos and the bizzare arms for hostage deals of the Iran-Contra affair.
    I would suggest a reader have some background - read "Wilderness of Mirrors" about the early founding of the CIA, or any number of soldier memoirs on the Southeast Asia conflict of the 1960s and 1970s - before reading Shackley's book just to know some of the back story. Christopher Robbins books "Air America" and "The Ravens" are excellent works that keep the moral judgements to a minimum.
    The reason I cannot give this book a five-star rating is that Corn slips in a lot of judgemental graphs about Shackley and his CIA cohorts. Right and wrong is very subjective to people. The anecdotal history of "Blond Ghost" is fascinating, Corn's judgements are not interesting - at least to me.
    People do what they think is right, at first, in these situations. Then they do what they have to do. Then they survive. Shackley survived a great many decades and probably did his nation as many services as he did the world moral disservices.

    I only gave 3 stars for the following reason. The book was stated to be new / good condition and it arrived with tears and the hardback corners were bent. Ted Shackley is my great uncle and he never endorsed this book. The author never had Ted's permission to write this book and there are many untruths throughout the book. If you would like to read the truth about Ted Shackley then purchase the book he authored called Spymaster My Life in the CIA.
