Why read it?
1 author picked For the President's Eyes Only as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is another groundbreaking book, but from the White House perspective. Broader in scope, For the President’s Eyes Only is another work that is both scholarly and readable. It may be the single best book on American intelligence, valuable as an introduction or an overview. Not unlike David Kahn, Christopher Andrew did much to invent the field of intelligence history—and to welcome scholars and practitioners (including yours truly) into the field.
From Nicholas' list on citizen spies building American intelligence in WWII.
