In the United States, there are as many as seventeen intelligence services, alone, that the world knows about. But, there are even more, that the world does not know about.
The CIA is one of the most glamorous of these intelligence services. It is like an empire, standing in the sun. But this empire has failed, in one foreign operation after another.
Of course, we are not saying that the CIA is worthless. Some of its divisions have achieved a lot. Tim Weiner, spent 20 years reading 50,000 documents, and talking to 10 former CIA chiefs, before writing “Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA”. This is a book, that exposes the intelligence agency’s shocking story.
