LEGACY OF ASHES - TIM WEINER KARTONIERT (TB)

This book charts the disastrous course of never-revealed secret operations across Europe  the
Middle East  Asia  and Africa. It shows that the CIA's vaunted victories in the cold war -
coups that overthrew constitutional leaders in Iran and Guatemala - were chaotic fights that
succeeded only by deadly force. It exposes the buying and selling of the political leaders of
world powers. It details how Presidents from Harry Truman to George W. Bush have abused and
misused the CIA. It shows how the CIA deteriorated over the decades into an incapable and
incoherent service whose deepest secret was its own weakness and ineptitude.
