DESCRIPTION:Here's what Kirkus Review has to say about David Talbot's new book The 
 Devil's Chessboard: “A frightening biography of power, manipulation, and 
 outright treason…The story of Allen Dulles and the power elite that ran 
 Washington, D.C., following World War II is the stuff of spy fiction…All 
 engaged American citizens should read this book and have their eyes 
 opened.” \n\nAn explosive, headline-making portrait of Allen Dulles, the 
 man who transformed the CIA into the most powerful—and 
 secretive—colossus in Washington, from the founder of Salon.com and 
 author of Season of the Witch and the New York Times bestseller 
 Brothers.\n\nAmerica’s greatest untold story: the United States’ rise 
 to world dominance under the guile of Allen Welsh Dulles, the 
 longest-serving director of the CIA. Drawing on revelatory new 
 materials—including newly discovered U.S. government documents, U.S. and 
 European intelligence sources, the personal correspondence and journals of 
 Allen Dulles’s wife and mistress, and exclusive interviews with the 
 children of prominent CIA officials—Talbot reveals the underside of one 
 of America’s most powerful and influential figures.\n\nDulles’s decade 
 as the director of the CIA—which he used to further his public and 
 private agendas—were dark times in American politics. Calling himself 
 “the secretary of state of unfriendly countries,” Dulles saw himself as 
 above the elected law, manipulating and subverting American presidents in 
 the pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy elite he 
 counted as his friends and clients—colluding with Nazi-controlled 
 cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi in the process. Targeting 
 foreign leaders for assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments 
 not in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those same tactics to 
 further his goals at home, Talbot charges, offering shocking new evidence 
 in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.\n\nAn exposé of 
 American power that is as disturbing as it is timely, The Devil’s 
 Chessboard is a provocative and gripping story of the rise of the national 
 security state—and the battle for America’s soul.\n
