About The Author	Born and educated in the United Kingdom, Hugh Wilford taught at the University of Sheffield before moving to his current position as professor of United States History at California State University, Long Beach. A recipient of awards and fellowships on both sides of the Atlantic, he is the author of five books, including America's Great Game: The CIA's Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East and The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America. He lives in Long Beach, California.
	A spectacular achievement: learned, thoughtful, frequently surprising, often wryly funny, always gloriously readable. It's a serious work of scholarship . . . a brilliant portrait of the men who lived in the shadows . . . It's the best book yet from a supremely accomplished historian – and I loved it
Other text	How the CIA became an instrument of a new covert empire both in America and overseas.
