Focusing on the evolution of the CIA, a former operative critiques its current state, particularly the Directorate of Operations, highlighting a shift from taking risks to a culture of avoidance. Through a mix of analysis and compelling true stories, Charles S. Faddis argues that the agency has become a bureaucratic entity prioritizing careerism over effective action, adopting a mentality of "Don't fall" instead of embracing the proactive stance of its past. The book raises concerns about the agency's ability to confront modern threats effectively.
