Description

From the back cover: Welcome to the Company - better known as the CIA to outsiders. With a sharp eye for the pathos and absurdity of the spy game, internationally renowned novelist Robert Littell seamlessly weaves together history and fiction to create a multigenerational, wickedly nostalgic saga that races across a landscape spanning the legendary Berlin Base of the 1950s, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Bay of Pigs, Afghanistan, and the Gorbachev putsch. *The Company* tells the thrilling story of agents imprisoned in double lives, fighting an amoral, elusive, formidable enemy -- and each other -- in an internecine battle within the Company itself. A brilliant, stunningly conceived epic thriller, *The Company* confirms Littell's place among the genre's elite.
