Summary

In this unparalleled work of investigative journalism, Ronald Kessler reveals the inner world of the C.I.A. Based on extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including two with active directors of Central Intelligence, William H. Webster and Robert M. Gates, and with three former D.C.I.s, Inside the C.I.A. is the first in-depth, unbiased account of the Agency's core operations, its abject failures, and its resounding successes.

Critic reviews

"This tour is never dull, especially since it features so much .007 gadgetry, from water-spraying silent drills to eavesdropping devices that work by zapping laser beams through windows." ( Los Angeles Times)

Interesting listen

I found this really interesting and downloaded it after listening to inside the FBI, this didn't seem to have the same level of information and was repetitive in places

Seriously?

OMG! The narrator is Windows 98.
I have never heard any narrator or story teller like this one. The audio sounds like an androgynous computer voice, I gave up after 20 minutes and chalked it up as a bad buy. Shame really as I was looking forward to this book. Never mind lesson learnt.
