I loved this book! Hank wrote in a succinct, yet described manner that left me with a clear perspective on the CIA’s major role in post-9/11 Afghanistan. The perspective was personal and yet objective. He didn’t paint the CIA as flawless- no agency is- and presented clearly its shortcomings. I’m so grateful to live in the United States, books like this make me appreciate it even more.
