How should we define the role of secret agencies in a democratic society? Can a balance be struck between civil liberties and national security? These are questions addressed in Loch Johnson's book, an overview of the CIA and its activities in American affairs, both domestic and foreign.
A magisterial study of the CIA that will have wide appeal to both practitioners and students of this subject. As the author of the highly regarded Season of Inquiry and a former staff aide to Senator Frank Church, Johnson has impressive credentials as an academic theorist and governmental analyst. * Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence *
It brings the thoroughness and grasp of detail we have come to expect of the author ... he shows a scholarly and straightforward approach. * William H. Jackson, Jr., Intelligence and National Security *
