Book Condition: Very Good; light tip bumping; light rubbing to wraps; slight soiling to textblock edges. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps.

This book tells how Allen Dulles took American spying from the back alleys of Europe to the forefront of American foreign policy as Director of CIA under Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. His life spanned the American century: from his diplomatic service at America's embassy in Vienna during World War I to his running intelligence operations in the Middle East, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The author explodes the myths spun by Kennedy defenders over what happened at the Bay of Pigs, using recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with key Kennedy aides; reveals how Dulles plotted to kill Hitler - and how his espionage campaign against the Fuhrer started before World War II; highlights the Dulles family's role in unmasking Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy; and explores how Dulles, and his brother, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, guided American foreign policy during the crisis points of the Cold War. Fifteen years in the making - and written with the full cooperation of the Dulles family and numerous previously untapped sources - this book is more than a biography, it is the dramatic story of how America became a world power through the life of its premier spy. A clean very presentable copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 013953
