Espionage Editorial Review
The Quiet Americans: Four CIA Spies at the Dawn of the Cold War is a well-written and compelling historiography that explores the evolution of the OSS to the CIA and the beginning of the Cold War. The book tracks the life and experiences of four spies from the beginning and creates a thrilling story. The author provides you an inside look at the CIA organizations better than anyone. The personal background of the four individuals provides the context of post-WWII America until the beginning of the Cold War. The author emphasizes the importance of moral leadership and high road in foreign policy.
