Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The book the NSA tried to suppress.
In this remarkable tour de force of investigative reporting, James Bamford exposes the inner workings of America's largest, most secretive, and arguably most intrusive intelligence agency. The NSA has long eluded public scrutiny, but The Puzzle Palace penetrates its vast network of power and unmasks the people who control it, often with shocking disregard for the law. With detailed information on the NSA's secret role in the Korean Airlines disaster, Iran-Contra, the first Gulf War, and other major world events of the 80s and 90s, this is a brilliant account of the use and abuse of technological espionage.
Review:
"There have been glimpses inside the NSA before, but until now no one has published a comprehensive and detailed report on the agency...Mr. Bamford has emerged with everything except the combination to the director's safe." The New York Times Book Review
