A gripping history charting the flow of intelligence from the CIA to the president in the twentieth century
A GRIPPING NEW HISTORY OF US PRESIDENTS AND CIA SECRETS Every day, the President of the United States receives a bespoke, top-secret briefing document from the Central Intelligence Agency.Truman started them, Kennedy came to rely on them and Trump hardly read them. Current Intelligence charts almost a century of history and politics, revealing for the first time the day-to-day intelligence that lands on the Oval Office desk in the form of the President's Daily Brief. Using recently declassified documents, it uncovers what successive American presidents knew and when, and what they did in response. The nuclear arms race, the Vietnam War and 9/11 might never have happened if presidents had read their Daily Briefs differently. By focusing on key moments, from the Cuban Missile Crisis and covert operations around the world, right up to the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, Current Intelligence reveals how intelligence has profoundly shaped our past and present.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
David Charlwood obtained a first-class honours degree in history from Royal Holloway, University of London, and has worked as an international journalist and in publishing. He is the author of four history books, including the acclaimed 1920: A Year of Global Turmoil (Pen & Sword).
