Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Spymaster! William J. Casey, brilliant and ruthless head of the CIA from 1981 to 1987, was arguably the most powerful Director in the agency’s forty-year history. Sharing with his President a determination to reshape the world, and given a totally free hand, Casey staged a series of covert operations shocking in their range and audacity. Nicaragua, Iran, Libya, Grenada, the Falklands—these were his battlegrounds; treachery, deception, bribery, even assassination his tools. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bob Woodward had extensive access to this controversial figure who, in some fifty interviews, unleashed a one-man flood of classified information on the CIA and its interaction with the US government. The result is a classic study of the relationship between the management of the world’s most sophisticated espionage apparatus and the making of foreign policy. It has all the fast-paced excitement and intrigue of a first class spy story. —from the back cover Includes Index and photos
