CIA: The Inside Story

The CIA was founded in 1946 by Harry S. Truman as the Central Intelligence Group, a master international intelligence organization with one end in view―the defeat of the international Communist conspiracy – the most important enemy threatening democratic countries after WW II. In this important historical overview of the initial years of the CIA, its operations and development are carefully scrutinized by award winning author and journalist, Andrew Tully. Military and political comments concerning CIA's accomplishments and flops – including Cuba, Suez, Iran, the Congo, Formosa, Guatemala, Poland, Hungary, West Berlin, and most of the other scenes in which the CIA played a part – are drawn from a wide range of opinions both pro and con and are studied from both strategic and tactical angles. CIA-The Inside Story is a well-rounded report about the formation of the CIA and the people who made it happen.
