The co-author of KGB: The Inside Story offers a thorough and revealing examination of how presidents have used or misused secret intelligence. A fascinating narrative that shows how only four presidents proved equal to the challenge of using the often controversial service of U.S. Intelligence: Washington and Eisenhower, two former career soldiers; Kennedy, after he recovered from the Bay of Pigs fiasco; and Bush. Among the book's final revelations is the intelligence that changed Reagan's policy toward the -Evil Empire, ' and new information on Bush and Desert Storm.
