The Mission by Tim Weiner
The CIA in the 21st Century
The Mission traces the CIA’s evolution from post–Cold War decline through the shock of 9/11 and the agency’s shift toward paramilitary operations, detention, and drone strikes. It describes the consequences of that shift—operational losses, cyber and counterintelligence setbacks—and the subsequent effort to rebuild traditional espionage capabilities to confront rivals such as Russia, China, and Iran while operating under intense political pressure.
