Former CIA director George J.

In \u003ci\u003eCompany Man\u003c\/i\u003e, Rizzo charts the CIA’s evolution from shadowy entity to an organization exposed to new laws, rules, and a seemingly never-ending string of public controversies. As the agency’s top lawyer in the years after the 9\/11 attacks, Rizzo oversaw actions that remain the subject of intense debate, including the rules governing waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRizzo writes about virtually every significant CIA activity and controversy over a tumultuous, thirty-year period. His experiences illuminate our nation’s spy bureaucracy, offering a unique primer on how to survive, and flourish, in a high-powered job amid decades of shifting political winds. He also provides the most comprehensive account of critical events, like the “torture tape” fiasco surrounding the interrogation of Al Qaeda suspect Abu Zubayadah, and the birth, growth, and death of the enhanced interrogation program. \u003ci\u003eCompany Man \u003c\/i\u003eis the most authoritative insider account of the CIA ever written—a groundbreaking, timely, and remarkably candid history of American intelligence. This is “emphatically a book for anyone who cares about the security of this country” (\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43404859441407,"sku":"9781451673944","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_94bb1e93-4859-42a1-80e3-0ed77c989e35.jpg?v=1750359784","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781451673944","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
