Annie Jacobsen: The Secret History of the CIA
Jacobsen shares exclusive interviews with members of the CIA’s Senior Intelligence Service (equivalent to the Pentagon’s generals), its counterterrorism chiefs, targeting officers, and Special Activities Division’s Ground Branch operators who conduct today’s close-quarters killing operations around the world. And every operation they report—however unsettling—is legal. Join Jacobsen for a gripping dive into the complex world of individuals working in treacherous environments populated with killers, connivers, and saboteurs.
Annie Jacobsen is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Area 51 and Operation Paperclip and the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Pentagon’s Brain. She was a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times Magazine.
