Description
The CIA in the Post-9/11 World: A New Era of Counterterrorism. In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the CIA underwent a significant transformation, evolving into a warfighting intelligence service. This new role was marked by the establishment of "the Program", a network of secret detention facilities designed to prevent future terrorist attacks on American soil and globally. Former deputy director Philip Mudd sheds light on this now-controversial initiative, exploring its inner workings and the decisions made by those involved. He examines the pre-9/11 CIA, when the agency focused on collecting and analyzing information related to overseas events, and how it adapted in response to the new threat landscape. Mudd's account provides a detailed look at the daily operations of "the Program", including the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and the treatment of detainees. This book offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant and debated initiatives in American history.
