<DIV><BR><p>"This marvelously detailed biography of Allen Dulles, one of the few CIA directors who devoted much of his life to intelligence operations, traces much of the history of the United States in the twentieth century through these operations. Dulles's virtues - and weaknesses - are revealed. We are left with a full portrait of an authentic American patriot and statesman."<BR><p>James Schlesinger, former Director of Central Intelligence and Secretary of Defense</DIV>
