About this product

Product Information

Robert Littell does for the CIA what Mario Puzo did for the MafiaRobert Littell's The Company is an engrossing, multigenerational, wickedly nostalgic yet utterly entertaining and candid saga bringing to life, through a host of characters --historical and imagined - the nearly 50 years of this secretive and powerful organization. In a style intelligent and ironic, Littell tells it like it was: CIA agents fighting not only 'the good fight' against foreign enemies, but sometimes the bad one as well, with the ends justifying such means as CIA-organized assassinations, covert wars, kidnappings, and toppling of legitimate governments. Behind every manoeuvre and counter-manoeuvre, though, one question spans the length of the book . . . Who is the mole within the CIA?The Company - an astonishing novel that captures the life and death struggle of an entire generation of CIA operatives during a long Cold War.'The American le Carr?' New York Times'If Robert Littell didn't invent the American Spy novel, he should have' Tom Clancy

  • Believable fictional account of the activities of the CIA over a 30 year period

    There is so much factual content in the book it is difficult to accept it as a complete work of fiction. The ongoing struggle between the various secret Services, the constant risk of Double agents and the recounting of the British Cambridge spy ring is very compelling. To be read in detail on more then one occasion.
