Description
The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government A gripping and disturbing expose of American power, The Devil's Chessboard reveals the dark underbelly of one of America's most influential figures. Drawing on new materials and exclusive interviews, author David Talbot sheds light on the decade-long tenure of Allen Dulles as CIA director, during which he manipulated and subverted American presidents to further his own interests. Dulles's actions were marked by a willingness to target foreign leaders for assassination and overthrow nationalist governments, tactics he also employed at home. This book offers shocking new evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and provides a provocative and timely look at the rise of the national security state and the battle for America's soul. With exclusive access to previously unseen documents and personal correspondence, Talbot's book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the inner workings of American politics and the true nature of the country's intelligence agencies.
