Description:
The CIA in its glory days and the mad confidence that led to disaster in Vietnam are the subjects of Roger Warner's Shooting at the Moon, first published as Back Fire (Simon & Schuster, 1995) and winner of the Overseas Press Club's award for the best book on foreign affairs. In the early 1960s the CIA seemed to be running a perfect covert war in Laos -- just enough support to help Meo tribesmen defend their territory from the Communist Pathet Lao. Then the American was next door spilled across the border, and Warner describes how the perfect covert war ballooned into sorrow and disaster. "A terrific book. Much of it reads like a wild, imaginative adventure novel. That the story is true and only now coming fully to light makes it all that much more amazing" (Los Angeles Times).
