Description:“Rich reporting…a fitting tribute.” —The Boston GlobeIN THE LOBBY OF THE CIA HEADQUARTERS there rests a book kept locked in a stainless steel and glass case. Inscribed in that book were the name of the fallen, some twenty-nine agents who died in the line of duty. But there were another forty whose names were not listed, only the dates of their deaths on missions so covert that no one, sometimes not even relatives, could ever learn who those agents were or how they actually died—their lives and deaths marked only by nameless star. Until now.The book of Honor is a fascinating and unprecedented book. In it, award-winning journalist Ted Gup tells the full story of CIA agents who dies under top secret circumstances in places as diverse as Tibet, China, El Salvador, Congo, Cuba, and Laos. But he doesn't stop there. He also tells the stories of those left behind—the aggrieved widows who were cautioned by the CIA not to ask too many questions or say too much. And there are the disturbing stories of the parent and children who spent years trying to unearth the simple truth behind these deaths. Gup digs deeper than anyone before in to the quietest corridors and darkest days of the CIA and emerges with a book that is part history, part journalism, and part multi-biography. The Book of Honor is a uniquely compelling book and the profoundly moving story of men and women who died in the service of their country.“A compassionate and well-written portrait of some of the men and women behind the stars on the Wall of Honor.”—The Washington Times“[The Book of Honor] is skillfully structured, the lives and deaths affectingly rendered —The Seattle TimesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
