Left of Boom: How a Young CIA Case Officer Penetrated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda by Ralph Pezzullo, Douglas Laux
3.0
A little disappointing, to be honest. But maybe my expectations were too high.
While this book was certainly interesting, it seemed to be very held back by the poor writing of the author, with far too little description, though some can be excused.
Contrary to many complaints, the blacked out text did not bother me. It’s understandable why it must be utilized, and I commend the author for choosing to leave it in rather than try to work around it. I would rather know that things are being hidden from me than not know at all.
Overall, I found this book pretty decent, and an interesting look into some of the work and complications that can come with life working for the CIA.
