Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Safe for Democracy for the first time places the story of the CIA's covert operations squarely in the context of America's global quest for democratic values and institutions. National security historian John Prados offers a comprehensive history of the CIA's secret wars that is as close to a definitive account as is possible today. He draws on three decades of research to illuminate the men and women of the intelligence establishment, their resources and techniques, their triumphs and failures. In a dramatic and revealing narrative, Safe for Democracy not only relates the inside stories of covert operations but examines in meticulous detail the efforts of presidents and Congress to control the CIA and the specific choices made in the agency's secret wars. Safe for Democracy is the most authoritative and complete book on the CIA's secret wars ever published. Book News Annotation:Independent scholar Prados provides a detailed account of the Central
Intelligence Agency's activities around the world from its formation
in 1947 to the present day. Drawing upon recently declassified secret
documents as well as the memoirs of former officials, he describes
the CIA's various covert and political operations and places them
within the context of America's foreign policy goals and the global
quest for democracy. Particular attention is paid to the efforts of
presidents and Congress to control the CIA. Prados is a senior fellow
of the National Security Archive.
