About the author
Established in 1947 under the National Security Act, the Central Intelligence Agency became the United States' main civilian foreign intelligence service. Its work has included gathering and analyzing information from around the world, supporting national security decision-making, and conducting covert operations authorized by the government.
The agency grew quickly during the Cold War and became involved in some of the best-known intelligence operations of the twentieth century. It has also been the subject of intense scrutiny, with critics and investigators examining its role in coups, surveillance, detention programs, and the balance between secrecy and democratic oversight.
Based in Langley, Virginia, the CIA remains one of the most recognized intelligence organizations in the world. Books about it often explore not just spycraft and hidden operations, but also the people, politics, and moral questions that come with secret power.
