520 2  "A master class in spycraft from one of its greatest 
       practitioners. Jack Devine is one of the legendary 
       spymasters of our time. He was in Chile when Allende fell;
       he ran Charlie Wilson's war in Afghanistan; he had too 
       much to do with Iran-Contra for his own taste, though he 
       tried to stop it; he caught Pablo Escobar in Colombia; he 
       tried to warn George Tenet that there was a bullet coming 
       from Iraq with his name on it. Devine served America's 
       interests for more than thirty years in a wide range of 
       covert operations, ultimately overseeing the Directorate 
       of Operations, a CIA division that watches over thousands 
       of American covert operatives worldwide. Good Hunting is 
       his guide to the art of spycraft, told with great wit, 
       candor, and commonsense wisdom. Caricatured by Hollywood, 
       lionized by the right, and pilloried by the left, the CIA 
       remains one of the least understood instruments of the 
       United States government. Devine knows more than almost 
       anyone about the CIA's vital importance as a tool of 
       American statecraft. Now, as he sees it, the agency is 
       trapped within a larger bureaucracy, losing swaths of turf
       to the military and, most ominous of all, being 
       transformed into a paramilitary organization. Its capacity
       to do what it does best has been seriously degraded. In 
       wonderfully readable prose, Good Hunting aims to set the 
       record straight. This is a revelatory inside look at an 
       organization whose history has not been given its real 
       due"--|cProvided by publisher.
