The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government by David Talbot

challenging dark informative mysterious tense slow-paced

3.25

i had higher hopes, honestly. for a book about allen dulles, it really didn’t have much sense of direction.. I was kind of lost some of the time, but the information was very interesting, if slightly off topic sometimes. i liked all of the personal information they said about the various people in dulles’s inner circle, as well as some of the things he says about the oswalds’ and their friends’ connections, that was one of the few things that i found that hadn’t already been expanded on in another book.
