Big Intel

Shocking, illuminating--and filled with exclusive interviews with leading CIA figures themselves--Big Intel recounts the dramatic story of the rise and Cold War heroics of the CIA and the American intelligence apparatus followed by its unfortunate slide into Kafkaesque Deep State dysfunction. <p/> How the Left Subverted the CIA <p/> It wasn't a foreign power that subverted the CIA, turning the world's best spy agency into a bumbling--and dangerous--tool of the federal deep state. It was internal corruption driven by leftist ideology. <p/> The left used to loathe the CIA. And with good reason. Our intelligence agencies were known for their anti-communism. But those days are gone. Convinced that conservatives are a greater threat to our security than foreign adversaries are, CIA bureaucrats are happy to meddle in domestic politics.
