Summary: Long but not bad as a source book
Review: This not a book you want to read at one sitting!!! I found it more useful reading the essence of each chapter and not bothering with the details, unless I was searching for a specific topic or instance. Also due the date of the publication and the many new books coming out on this topic rechecking your facts with other sources always recomended. My favaorate part of the book is the first few chapters which describes the birth and infancy of one of the most famous intellegence organizations in the world. Overall, it is good read if you don't get wrapped up with too much of the details.
