Spymasters is a collection of interviews revealing enlightening
perspectives on the covert operations of this powerful, secretive
arm of the U.S. government. Here former top-ranking CIA officials
shed light on some of the most sensitive issues and practices in
American foreign intelligence to date. These men disclose
information about: President Harry S. Truman's demands for a
centralized intelligence agency and the stubborn resistance of
James F. Byrnes, J. Edgar Hoover, and the military services the
tumultuous early stages of the National Security Council the failed
Bay of Pigs invasion the confusion surrounding the Kennedy
assassination Khrushchev's ousting Operation MONGOOSE the Gulf of
Tonkin incident The interviews are especially valuable for their
portrayal of the relationships between the agency's directors and
the presidents during the most anxious and threatening decades of
the Cold War. The CIA's successes and failures are recounted and
carefully evaluated by the men who were there, often times issuing
the orders.
