This behind-the-scenes look at the CIA's relationship with the presidents, from World War II to the present day, reveals how intelligence gathering works, and how personal and political issues often interfere with government business.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 327.1273 Tu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
