pdf Veil: The Secret Wars of the CIA 1981-1987 مجانا للكاتب بوب وودوارد
From Bob Woodward, legendary investigative reporter, Veil is the story of the covert wars that were waged by the CIA across Central America, Iran and Libya in a secretive atmosphere and became the centerpieces and eventual time bombs of American foreign policy in the 1980s.
With unprecedented access to the government’s highest-level operators, Woodward recounts one of the most clandestine operations in our nation’s history.
"Most of the information in this book was obtained from interviews with more than 250 people involved directly in gathering or using intelligence information. I conducted multiple interviews with more than one hundred of these people; about fifteen key sources were each interviewed a halfdozen or more times. I would prefer sharing the name and position of each source with the reader. But because of the topic’s sensitivity, nearly all the interviews were conducted on “background,” which means that I have promised that these sources will not be identified. The simple reality is that people will not discuss intelligence and security matters without this protection. A number of sources also provided access to documents, memoranda, notes, calendars, other written chronologies, letters, transcripts and diaries. Where quoted directly, the documentation is identified in the text. I found, however, that the discussions with well-placed sources were generally more illuminating than reading stacks of documents."
