About This Item
Atheneum, 1977. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Clean unmarked hardcover with square binding; Rubbed at top of spine and a few placed on boards. Boards also show some spots and light shelf wear. Condition could be considered very good, but I'll err on the side caution. NO DJ. Stated First Edition with no printings indicated, 1st printing. x, 309 pages. - Phillips, a CIA officer who rose to director of the Western Hemisphere Division, gives a rendering of his experiences in 8 countries: sometimes humorous, sometimes harrowing, always fascinating and with profound implications. Candid about the CIA's failures (e.g. the Bay of Pigs), the book is avowedly pro-CIA.
