In the winter of 1952, at the height of the Korean War, the CIA flew a covert mission into China to pick up an agent. Trained on a remote Pacific island, the agent belonged to an obscure anti-communist group known as the Third Force based out of Hong Kong. The exfiltration would fail disastrously, and one of the Americans on the mission ended up a prisoner of Mao Zedong's government for the next twenty years. Unraveling the truth behind decades of Cold War intrigue, John Delury documents the damage that this hidden foreign policy did to American political life.

The history of US subversion in China is compelling, exciting even as it pieces together the covert and counterproductive efforts of the US government to undermine the new Communist Party Regime in China. The role of John Foster Dulles is especially revealing and maddening. Unfortunately, the reader badly mispronounces even simple to say Chinese names (Zhou Enlai), throughout. It’s quite distracting and annoying. How hard could it be to get some instruction on initial consonants and basic vowel sounds. Chinese Pronunciation is not difficult at this level, although I did finally stop cringing and just go with it. It might be better to read the book instead of listen.
