About this Book

First published in 1992, THE OLD BOYS provoked fits up and down the intelligence corridors of Washington. The book provided details, according to the CIA's own in-house summation, "not available eslewhere." Documentation on the attempts by Allen Dulles in 1945 to cover for his Nazi buisness friends while furitively endeavoring to buy up the I.G. Farben remnants for himself and a few insiders. The news that CIA policy-makers, both in Germany and inside the Agency were demonstrably KGB plnats and the extent to which key figures around the CIA jumped off the planning staff before the Bay of Pigs is explored in wonderful detail in this book. This is the book that taught the CIA it's history.
