Join LWVSP Morning Book Club to discuss The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century by Tim Weiner. We will meet at Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway) on Wednesday, March 11 at 10 am. You are welcome to join even if you haven't read the book.
"At the turn of the century, the Central Intelligence Agency was in crisis. The end of the Cold War had robbed the agency of its mission. More than thirty overseas stations and bases had been shuttered, and scores that remained had been severely cut back. Many countries where surveillance was once deemed crucial went uncovered. Essential intelligence wasn’t being collected. At the dawn of the information age, the CIA’s officers and analysts worked with outmoded technology, struggling to distinguish the clear signals of significant facts from the cacophony of background noise."
