See No Evil - The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism

In this astonishing and controversial memoir, one of the CIA's top field officers of the past quarter century recounts his career running agents in the back alleys of the Middle East, painting a chilling picture of how terrorism works on the inside, and providing compelling evidence about how Washington politics sabotaged the CIA's efforts to root out the world's deadliest terrorists. Baer presents the disturbing details he uncovered in his work, including revelations about the strategic alliance Osama bin Laden forged with Iran in 1996 to mastermind terrorist attacks on the US and elsewhere, about the planned coup d'etat against Saddam Hussein and how it was aborted by the National Security Council, and about the CIA's disastrous decision in 1991 to shut down its operations in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, ignoring the fundamentalists working in those countries.
