American public official Allen Welsh Dulles served from 1953 as director of the Central Intelligence Agency and after the failed invasion of the Bay of Pigs resigned in 1961.
A clear, concise, and boldly told history. Well-researched and unflinching, this short book reveals a more humane view than others written about this unfortunate episode in history. Yes, I have previously read the more famous first-person account by a young man destined to become Prime Minister. I enjoyed this one more.
