The Wizards of Langley - Inside the CIA's Directorate of Science & Technology
Jeffrey T. Richelson
In this, the first full-length study of the Directorate of Science and Technology, Jeffrey T. Richelson walks us down the corridors of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and through the four decades of science, scientists, and managers that produced the CIA we have today.
He tells a story of amazing technological innovation in the service of intelligence gathering, of bitter bureaucratic infighting, and sometimes - as in the case of its mind-control MK Ultra debacle - of stunning moral failures of the worst kind.
Based on original interviews and extensive archival research, The Wizards of Langley turns a piercing lamp on many of the agency’s activities, a large proportion of which have never before made public before now.
