The Ghosts of Langley is the story of spymasters, their minions,
and the ways in which the Central Intelligence Agency changed the
world. These were determined men and women who believed in their
mission, followed White House orders - and sometimes circumvented
them. It is also the story of some brave reformers who attempted to
change the CIA's culture but were swept under the rug, or worse,
converted to the dark side. The Ghosts of Langley uses profiles of
key figures in CIA history as a lens through which to examine the
history of American intelligence and the ways that actions
undertaken by the CIA agents helped create the situation the nation
now faces, taking into account not only covert operations, but
intelligence analysis, technological discoveries and more. John
Prados reaches into areas that have never before been explored in
books on the agency, including how its lawyers helped define the
parameters of accountability for intelligence gathering and the
ways in which covert operations are conducted and revealed. Along
the way, he reveals the existence of US intelligence beyond White
House control.
