Recent polls show that 74% of Americans believe a secret cadre of some sort is manipulating national policy. Trump supporters blame intelligence agencies, while the left, mindful of the misinformation about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, warn against the military-industrial complex. In the first deeply-reported investigation of this purported state-within-a state, Rohde, a two-time Pulitzer-winning journalist—now an executive editor of The New Yorker website and a CNN global affairs analyst—draws on his experience covering global and domestic politics, along with extensive interviews with CIA operatives and FBI agents of all levels, to determine whether these agencies are protecting the country or undermining it.
