[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone recommend an accessible book or two that would help someone in their late teens / early 20s understand the modern CIA and/or NSA and the range of roles and groups within these agencies?

Not looking for a history of the CIA or NSA or a moment of time / incident in the past, but rather something more current but still broad enough to get a sense of the range of these agencies. (Obv they’re not all spies trying to recruit assets in foreign countries …. )

Fiction would work, assuming it’s not grounded in reality rather than speculative trash. Thx. [/quote]

You could rent the film "The Good Shepherd," starring Matt Damon. After that movie came out, the CIA went so far as to convene an unclassified conference, in which they point by point disputed some of the things mentioned in that movie. Among the points made at the conference was that the Yale secret society Skull & Bones is not as influential as shown in the movie (or by a previous post to this thread).[/quote]
