Gates Knows Firsthand The Deepest Secrets Of The Cold War.Drawing On His Personal Experiences In The Cia And On The National Security Council Staff In The White House, As Well As On Intimate Knowledge Of Cia Documents And Activities Never Before Revealed, Gates Tells How The Cold War Was Really Fought.
