This unique history offers the most detailed and best documented
account of the early years of the CIA currently available. It
reveals the political and bureaucratic struggles that accompanied
the creation of the modern U. S. intelligence community. In
addition, it proposes a theory of effective intelligence
organization, applied both to the movement to create the CIA and to
the form it eventually took.
The period covered by this study was crucially important because
it was during this time that the main battles over the
establishment, responsibilities, and turf of the agency were
fought. Many of these disputes framed the forty years, such as the
relationship of the CIA to other government agency intelligence
operations, the role of covert action, and Congressional oversight
of the intelligence community.
The sources upon which Darling drew for this study include the
files of the National Security Council, the wartime files of the
OSS, and interviews and correspondence with many of the principal
players.
