John C. Campbell, writing inForeign Affairs, the journal of theCouncil on Foreign Relations, said that the book "cannot be the definitive history, but it comes as close as we are likely to get and is especially good in showing how critical to, and closely interwoven with, the fate of the nation these agencies have been."[1]
