From U2 spy planes to Predator drones, this is an eye-opening history with a broad international sweep taking in the cold war, the military-industrial complex, engineering marvels, and profoundly human failures.

This is a compelling history of a superpower that used secrecy to defend democracy.
From Nick's list on changing how you see history.
