요약	This book presents an overview of the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA's) origins, successes, and failures, and looks at key events, such as the Bay of Pigs episode. It highlights the CIA's effectiveness, which depended on its standing in the White House, Congress, and public opinion. It also explains how the CIA's success depended on the ability of a president to understand intelligence briefings and his willingness to heed them, which is a function of personality and political priorities. The book looks at the significance of the CIA's standing abroad and affirms that its covert actions were the greatest single cause of anti-Americanism in the post-World War II era.
