These were determined men and women who believed in their mission, followed White House orders and sometimes circumvented them. It is also the story of some brave reformers who attempted to change the CIAs culture but were swept under the rug, or worse, converted to the dark side.\n\nThe Ghosts of Langley uses profiles of key figures in CIA history as a lens through which to examine the history of American intelligence and the ways that actions undertaken by the CIA agents helped create the situation the nation now faces, taking into account not only covert operations, but intelligence analysis, technological discoveries and more.
