Why read it?

1 author picked See No Evil as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Top CIA case officer Robert Baer takes us on missions with him to destroy terrorist networks in the Middle East. For most of the book he operates fast and furious—until he runs into a different kind of enemy—CIA political correctness, careerism, and more.

From Stephen's list on black ops memoirs.
