Publishing into the 70th anniversary of the CIA and a new era under Donald Trump: John Prados is one of the world’s leading authorities on the CIA and his new, up-to-date history is the first to locate the Agency’s current behavior and challenges in the face of authority—whether it be the Senate or Donald Trump—back to its founding figures and early history.

First major book on the CIA in a decade: This is the first significant book on the CIA since Tim Weiner’s award-winning Legacy of Ashes.

Based on newly declassified documents: Prados is a senior fellow at George Washington University's National Security Archive. He and his colleagues are responsible for FOIAing many of the declassified documents that strongly inform this book.

A leading expert on the CIA: Prados is often quoted as an expert in the Washington Post, Politico, New York Times and other major publications as a major authority on CIA history.

Speaking: Prados is a prolific public speaker, who often speaks at conferences concerning the history of espionage and has testified to Congress.

Potential blurbs: Hoping to get blurbs from Tim Weiner, David Talbot, James Bamford, Jeremy Scahill, Thomas Powers, and Kai Bird.
