"I was astounded with the conflict within our governmental agencies and the secrecies between them. The book is not easy to read unless one's memory is very good. Although there is a glossary defining all the acronyms used throughout the book, it was difficult to remember the definitions."

"Interesting contemporary investigation of Reagan-era CIA hijinks...but the writing is...rough."

"An intriguing look "behind the scenes" of the CIA´s covert operations in the 1980´s and the political, policy and philosophical battles that went into them. Does the intelligence service exist to simply gather intelligence so policy makers can set policy and determine actions or does it exist to undertake actions to influence events outside our borders? That much covert action focused on Central America during the cold war of course made the read all the more interesting since I live in Central America. Now the "war on terror" may provide a similar context in which those in the intelligence services ask themsleves similar questions about the role of intelligence..."

"This wasn't quite as well written as Woodward's later book that I also read recently, on the Iraq War, but it was pretty good nonetheless. Makes Reagan out to have been pretty out of it. According to this, he installed his guy at the CIA, gave him pretty much carte blanche to mess around just about everywhere, and then paid no attention. He only worked Mon through Thurs afternoon! Crazy. It's also interesting to read about a time when we felt we had to fight the commies in every backwards corner of the world. I mean, really, is the world gonna end if the reds take over El Salvador? Who cares? It just ends up seeming like a pride issue. Maybe I'm wrong and the world would have ended, and it just seems silly now because the Soviets lost."
