Title: Worth Reading
Review: Body of Secrets provides a great overview of the electronic side of intelligence and its role in US foreign policy. The research is well done. Despite occasional one-sentence editorials revealing the authors views on his subject, he remains detached enough not to get in the way. Some critics "can't decide" if he's pro or con, but I see that as a strength rather than a weakness.The book also includes information, disturbing information, that if correct should change how history has recently judged the Eisenhower administration.The last chapter is a little dry, however, offering an overly-detailed description of the NSA campus that isn't relevant or interesting. But, overall, Body of Secrets is worth the effort.
