PRAISE FOR THE DETERMINED SPY

“In ‘The Determined Spy,’ Douglas Waller…gives detailed and nuanced treatment to both Wisner’s outsize role in the early CIA and his disease, leaving judgment to the reader…It’s a rich history, mostly drawn from recently declassified CIA records that cover everything from bureaucratic wrangling to foreign policy debates at the highest level.”
—The Washington Post

“The biggest surprise in Waller’s lively biography of Frank Wisner…is how stunningly naïve U.S. covert and martial operations have been at times. As Waller shows, Wisner’s tenure provides one of the harsher lessons of the world of espionage: What appears to be a success at the time may not prove so over the long run.”
—The New York Times

“Was the earlier, swashbuckling CIA a more successful enterprise than its present, decidedly less picturesque incarnation? In ‘The Determined Spy’ Douglas Waller, a historian and journalist, investigates that question by chronicling, in considerable detail, the ‘turbulent’ life of Frank Gardiner Wisner.”
—The Wall Street Journal.
