About this title: Christpher Andrew's history of US intelligence operations focuses on the 20th century. US intelligence gathering became much more extensive and sophisticated during the First World War, although for years it was dominated by the superior British intelligence services. During the 1950s, the US used its exceptional technological knowledge to make advances in espionage. Included in this endeavor were the development of both the U-2 spy plane and Operation Lighting, a major effort to upgrade the computer used to analyze the wealth of newly available data.

"A bit dry at times - but a whole lot of interesting information. It really gave me a different perspective on some of the decisions our presidents have made."
"This book covers a lot of ground. Christopher Andrew seems to be the go-to guy on this topic, and each chapter (corresponding to a particular presidential administration) can be a stand alone read. Ton of detail and very eye-opening. The chapter on Nixon alone is worth it...pretty outrageous stuff."
"This book is assigned reading for the counterterrorism graduate class I'm taking. It's a wonderful look, president-by-president, at the use of intelligence and covert action by the United States over the years. Another assigned book for the class, The Presidents' Secret Wars, covers the same topics, but in a rather boring way. The President's Eyes Only is both entertaining and enlightening. It will make you wonder how the United States is ever successful, given the number of mistakes and missteps made by our leaders through the World Wars, the Cold War and beyond."
