Doyle helps lift the veil that has kept the Agency's inner workings hidden from the public. Sharing his many adventures -- and misadventures -- Doyle reveals in great detail how the CIA operates, in war and in peace, whether recruiting agents, employing trade craft, or trying to extricate itself from some major snafu. Doyle was with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, directly engaging the Nazi war machine in occupied Europe. He later joined the elite Clandestine Services (CS) of the CIA, whose officers are called upon to do some of the most dangerous work in the world. With the CS, he served as a spymaster in the Far East, Congo, Burundi, Senegal, and finally the plum Soviet Bloc Division. He was the CIA's base chief in the Congo when Premier Patrice Lumumba was assassinated, and now, for the first time, we learn exactly what happened there -- and who the real murderers were. Uncommonly informative and unflinchingly straightforward, this rare chronicle of an intriguing career also includes a powerful section on CIA traitors such as Aldrich H. Ames and Harold James Nicholson, which gives new perspective on the far-reaching damage betrayal causes. In addition, Doyle provides a cogent argument for the necessity of state espionage in today's unpredictable, increasingly dangerous world -- and, in effect, answers the frequent question: Why spy?
