Book Reviews of Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA, 1981-1987
Book Review: It is like we were in the meetings......
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another of Bob Woodward's insider stories on the White House, the Presidency of the United States and the surrounding players, in this case the CIA and it's Director William Casey.
Woodward chose one of the most turbulent times in US political history to write about and he wrote extremely well, it is almost as if the reader is in the room while these events took place. The ability of Woodward to draw out the biggest secrets and stories from some of the most powerful people in the world is something to be seen to be believed.
Excellent book.
