Many books, fiction and nonfiction alike, purport to probe the inner workings of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Many attempt to create spine-tingling suspense or allege that America's civilian spy operation has run amok and been infested with rogues and criminals. But this book is different. In fact it’s a unique straightforward, honest, surprisingly captivating memoir by one of the CIA's most well-known and honored career officers.

Detail and insightful but sometimes bigoted.
Revisado: 01-03-20
I liked the detail and access to the life if a CIA DO Officer that started as a paramilitary and went on to develop a slow but diverse career in the Clandestine Service. It tells a brave story of a survivor and curious warrior of the CIA.
The only thing I disliked are the bigoted comments that are opposite of the multicultural curiosity that at some points the author’s international experience should display. An example of that is a racial comparison between Chinese and Malay in Malasia. Another one is when he says that the country of America, (as the United States) was not discovered by Columbus ignoring that America is a Continent instead of a country, amongst others comments.
