Company Man: Thirty Years of Controversy and Crisis in the CIA Tapa dura - 2014
de John Rizzo
Resumen
From the âÈêmost influential career lawyer in CIA historyâÈë (Los Angeles Times) an unprecedented memoir filled with never-before-told stories from his thirty-year career at the center of the U.S. governmentâÈçs intelligence program (1976-2009).
In 1975, fresh out of law school and working a numbing job at the Treasury Department, Rizzo took âÈêa total shot in the darkâÈë and sent his resume to the Central Intelligence Agency. He had no notion that more than thirty years later, after serving under eleven CIA directors and seven Presidents, he would become a notorious public figureâÈ'a symbol and victim of the toxic winds swirling in post-9/11 Washington. From approval of the rules governing waterboarding and other âÈêenhanced interrogation techniquesâÈë to serving as the point person answering for the Iran Contra scandal, John Rizzo witnessed and participated in virtually all of the significant operations of the CIAâÈçs modern history.
In Company Man, Rizzo charts the CIAâÈçs evolution from shadowy entity to an organization exposed to new laws, rules, and a seemingly never-ending string of public controversies, from Iran-Contra to Valerie Plame. Rizzo offers a direct window into the CIAâÈçs actions in the years after the 9/11 attacks, when he served as the agencyâÈçs top lawyer, with oversight of actions that remain the subject of intense debate today, including CIA black sites and the infamous memos surrounding the interrogation of Al Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah. Spanning more than three decades, Company Man is the most comprehensive insider account of the CIA ever written. Filled with revelatory stories set against a backdrop of some of WashingtonâÈçs biggest political dramas, it is a groundbreaking, timely, and remarkable personal history of American intelligence.

Reseñas en medios
"John Rizzo, formerly the CIA's top attorney, has superbly captured the scope of his fascinating career in Company Man. Not only does he cover the major espionage and covert action of the decades he served, he also conveys an enduring and critical lesson for all liberal democracies--the centrality of the rule of law at the nexus of foreign policy and intelligence. John, who always provided clear and honest counsel to the CIA's Clandestine Service, has crafted an important book with the same sense of intellectual integrity and duty."
