Wizards Of Langley by Jeffrey Richelson

The Wizards Of Langley: Inside The CIA's Directorate Of Science And Technology by Jeffrey T Richelson

In this, the first full-length study of the Directorate of Science and Technology, Jeffrey T. Richelson walks us down the corridors of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and through the four decades of science, scientists, and managers that produced the CIA we have today.

He tells a story of amazing technological innovation in service of intelligence gathering, of bitter bureaucratic infighting, and sometimes, as in the case of its ΓÇ£mind-controlΓÇ¥ adventure, of stunning moral failure. Based on original interviews and extensive archival research, The Wizards of Langley turns a piercing lamp on many of the agencyΓÇÖs activities, many never before made public.
