In a compelling blend of analy­sis and fascinating true-life stories, Charles S. Faddis argues that the CIA has devolved into a low-risk or, often, no-risk bureaucracy of careerists whose mantra might be summed up thus: ?Don't fall.” He discusses the birth of the CIA, how the agency works from the inside out, why things have gone awry?and how to build a new entity that will maintain the midnight watch, so Americans can sleep well at night.</P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> </P></DIV></DIV>
