Drawing on recently declassified documents, a provocative look at the intense and bitter rivalry between the FBI and CIA examines the history of the conflict and assesses its damaging impact on American counterintelligence. 25,000 first printing. Tour.

Reveals how the feud between FBI director J. Edgar Hoover & Wm J. Donovan, the CIA's godfather, drove a wedge between foreign & domestic spycatching, creating a deeply flawed intelligence system. Examines how the problems arising from this split shaped the McCarthy loyalty probes, the U-2 affair & plots to kill Castro; sparked political scandals, from Watergate to Iran-contra & Iraq-Gate; hobbled the '60s hunt for spies in the CIA; may have contributed to Jack Ruby's murder of Lee Harvey Oswald; & allowed Russian mole Aldrich Ames to serve almost a decade in the CIA before being caught. "A grand panorama of dramatic episodes, peopled by picaresque secret agents from Ian Fleming to Oliver North, 'Wedge' is both a journey & a warning. From Pearl Harbor, McCarthyism & the plots to kill Castro thru the JFK assassination, Watergate & Iran Contra down to the Aldrich Ames affair, Robert Hanssen's treachery & the hunt for Al Qaeda--'Wedge' shows the price America has paid for its failure to resolve the conflict between law enforcement & intelligence. Gripping & authoritative--& updated with an important new epilogue, carrying the action thru to 9/11/01--'Wedge' is the only book about the schism that has informed nearly every major blunder in American espionage."

Mlčanie Vatikánu o nacistických zločinoch je stále ostro diskutovanou témou. Historici obvinili pápeža Pia XII. zo spolu páchateľstva na holokauste a nazvali ho Hitlerovým pápežom... Pius riadil najväčšiu svetovú Cirkev, najmenší štát a najstaršiu špionážnu službu. Najal si tajných agentov, aby nahrávali stretnutia pohlavárov nacizmu. Ozbrojení jezuiti ukradli plány Hitlerových domov. Správca vatikánskych katakomb riadil špionážnu sieť, aby odhalil nemecké vojnové plány a zranil Hitlera kufríkovou bombou... Kniha Cirkev špiónov odhaľuje jedno z najpozoruhodnejších období v histórii pápežstva.
