An insider account of Cold War intelligence and covert operations
Richard M. Bissell’s memoir traces his role in major U.S. intelligence initiatives during the Cold War, linking technological projects such as the U-2 reconnaissance plane and Corona satellite to the political decisions surrounding covert action. Covering the period from Yalta through the Bay of Pigs, it foregrounds the people, policies, and historical pressures that shaped these operations. The book also records Bissell’s discussion of the lessons he drew from this era, including the Bay of Pigs operation, placing intelligence work within the larger conflicts and calculations of the time.
