Synopsis

Glenn M. Hunt's A View from the Trenches: Memoirs of a CIA Case Officer is a rare, up-close-and-personal account of working for America's much-romanticized Central Intelligence Agency-one of the great American Cold War warriors ... and great American bureaucracies. A number of tersely told anecdotes-both personal and privileged-recount twenty-seven years of service with CIA during a tense and crucial era. The scenic backdrops include such Cold War battlegrounds as 1950s Austria-where CIA and KGB played a deadly game of human chess, with defectors as pawns-and unlikely outposts such as Tripoli-where the author flew and crashed an airplane in the Libyan desert. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always entertaining and eye-opening, A View from the Trenches is a candid and personal reminiscence on the realities of CIA during its formative years.
