Kundenrezensionen
The author's experience in investigative reporting permitted him unusual opportunities to obtain convincing first-hand accountings of the CIA physical plant, personal interviews with five of the CIA past or then present CIA Directors, and numerous informants from the FBI and Congress.
To not read "Inside The CIA" is to not know the CIA.
Kessler explains that the CIA is divided into four chief directorates: operations, intelligence, administration, and science and technology. He goes on to say that these four departments work in unison to keep the CIA runnning smoothly. The CIA could not withstand the loss of any one of these divisons; if the directorate of administration was taken away no one would get employed, paid, or terminated. Likewise if the directorate of intelligence was eliminated the CIA's main role (gaining information about other countries and using that information to protect national security) would not be fulfilled. At the head of all these directorates and sub-directorates is the office of the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Movies like James Bond and Misson: Impossible may give people the wron idead about the CIA. Kessler states that "When the public or the media cannot know something they immediately assume that the agency has make a mistake." Many people think that classified information is something the CIA doesn't want to acknowlege; in reality the CIA classifies information to protect the US and its citizens.
I picked up this book looking foward to pages full of clever gadgets and shadowly double agents. What i found was long drawn out procedures and policies that often confused me. However the book was occasionally spiced up with an intresting fact or two. For instance did you know that former president George Bush was once director of the CIA? Or that in the past the CIA hired US citizens vacationing over seas to spy on foreign emmbassies? These seldom facts combined with the agency's interesting history kept me reading. This book might appeal to someone who wants to clear up some of the speculation of the CIA.
A reader from Colorado Springs , September 21, 1998 Excellent reference work! I bought this book and have referred to it many times since. Bumford, Stieger, Sweetman, and Burrows are the authorities. The information in this book rivals if not tops Brad Stieger's new book, Alien Rapture. I worked Top Secret black programs for 25 years as a DOD contractor and employee. I know every detail in this book and the Puzzle Palace and will verify that it is highly accurate. Brad Steiger has published 140 books and everything he has written supports the facts in The Puzzle Palace. Think of The Puzzle Palace as a text book on secret government technology and methodology. Think of Deep Black as a text book on top secret information on satellites, use and abuse. Think of Steiger's new book, Alien Rapture as a novel incorporating all this information. Brad has even delivered the only picture of the most classified aerospace vehicle in the world. Once you've read these books, you'll never stop looking over your shoulder, buy it soon!
