The CIA is often characterised as a rogue elephant rampaging around the world with its own agenda and beyond the control of the US President or the US government. This book sets out to provide a more balanced picture by looking at CIA actions in context and with the benefit of additional knowledge provided by official archives and declassified documents. Pays particular attention to efforts by the Presidency and Congress to exercise better control and oversight of the CIA.
