The CIA and the Culture of Failure

The 9/11 attacks and the war in Iraq sprang from massive intelligence failures. To help us understand how and why such failures occur, the author analyzes key events from the end of the Cold War - when the CIA's main mission of spying on the Soviet Union ceased to exist - to 9/11 and the war in Iraq.

"The CIA and the Culture of Failure is a very important work that focuses on intelligence and policy issues that are of immediate interest in dealing with key crisis areas like Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. No one can be definitive in a field where so much is classified, but this book frames a key debate over the future of intelligence that deserves broad attention by the Administration, the Congress, and the intelligence community. The work is solid, well-thought out, and covers a wide range of sources without bias; and without academic, ideological, or political prejudice."
