Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Fourth Printing [Stated]. x, 550 pages. "Charlie Wilson's War" tells the story of what became the largest covert operation in history--costing over $1 billion a year. Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol, to secret chambers at Langley, to arms-dealer conventions, to the Khyber Pass, this is a compulsively readable account of the inside workings of the CIA. George Washington Crile III (March 5, 1945 May 15, 2006) was an American journalist most closely associated with his three decades of work at CBS News. He specialized in dangerous and controversial subjects, resulting in both praise and controversy. He received an Emmy Award, Peabody Award, and Edward R. Murrow Award. After college, he became a reporter for the Gary Post-Tribune in Indiana and was assigned to The Pentagon beat in the early 1970s. He then was a reporter for Washington columnists Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson, and was The Pentagon correspondent for Knight-Ridder newspapers. Crile was Washington editor of Harper's Magazine from 1973 to 1976. He wrote for The Washington Monthly, New Times, The New York Times, The Washington Monthly, and The Washington Post. Crile joined CBS News in 1976 to produce The CIA's Secret Army, his trail-breaking documentary that chronicled the previously untold story of the CIA's secret wars against Castro after the Bay of Pigs Invasion. It won an American Film Festival Blue Ribbon. Historian Henry Steele Commager wrote that it would go down as one of the most important journalistic reports in U.S. American history. Charles Nesbitt Wilson (June 1, 1933 February 10, 2010) was an American politician and naval officer who was a 12-term Democratic Representative from Texas's 2nd congressional district. Wilson is best known for leading Congress into supporting Operation Cyclone, the largest-ever Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covert operation, which during the Carter and Reagan administrations supplied military equipment to the Afghan Mujahideen during the SovietAfghan War. In 1972, Wilson was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Texas's 2nd congressional district. He took office in January 1973. Wilson was reelected to Congress 11 times. Wilson was known for his hawkish defense and foreign policy positions and supported the Democratic National Committee's platform on women's rights, social security, and abortion during the 1980s. Wilson was a proponent of strong relations with Israel throughout his entire congressional career. His support for Israel began during Wilson's first year in Congress when the Yom Kippur War broke out. Wilson quickly came to Israel's defense as a self-proclaimed 'Israeli commando.' Wilson's close ties with Israel later enabled him to collaborate with Israeli defense engineers to create and transport man-portable anti-aircraft guns into Pakistan, which were used against the Soviet Union during its occupation of Afghanistan during the SovietAfghan War. In the late 1980s, Crile began the research and reporting on the Afghan War that led to his best-selling book, Charlie Wilson's War. This is the extraordinary story of the largest and most successful CIA operation in history-the arming of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, pressure mounted for the Americans to support the Afghan resistance. Charlie Wilson, a maverick congressman from East Texas who sat on the powerful House Defense Appropriations Committee, persuaded his colleagues to allocate $10 million to fund the CIA's effort to arm the Mujahideen. Charlie Wilson's War tells the story of what became the largest covert operation in history; funding eventually grew to over $1 billion a year. The book includes an incredible cast of characters: Charlie, the charismatic, hard-partying congressman who raised eyebrows when traveling to Pakistan with unusual companions -- one his personal belly dancer, another an ex-beauty queen -- but was passionate about supporting the Afghans and brilliant at getting deals done.…
