Reviews
"This masterful new history should be required reading. . . . Astonishing. . . . A singular triumph." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "In this triumphant follow-up to Legacy of Ashes, National Book Award winner Weiner continues his history of the CIA. . . . Chilling. . . . A crucial document of the present times." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A riveting, must-read, deeply reported continuation of Weiner's prize winner, Legacy of Ashes." -- "Esquire, "The Best Books of Summer 2025" "The Mission is an outstanding book. The most important CIA intelligence activities of this century are examined here, fairly and in lively prose." -- Loch K. Johnson, SpyTalk "An absorbing, informative portrait of an embattled organization that is facing formidable challenges abroad and at home." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "In 2007, Weiner, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, rankled U.S. spy organizations with Legacy of Ashes, a chronicle of the C.I.A.'s 20th-century failings that won a National Book Award. He's back with the story of the agency's evolution since Sept. 11 -- a period when American covert services took an increasingly militaristic role in the Middle East and, Weiner contends, pushed the business of war deeper into the dark." -- New York Times, "Must reading for anyone interested in the CIA or American intelligence since World War II." -- Washington Post "Legacy of Ashes is the best book I've yet read on the CIA's covert actions." -- Wall Street Journal "Legacy of Ashes should be must-reading for every presidential candidate--and every American who wants to understand why the nation repeatedly stumbles into one disaster abroad after another." -- Boston Globe "This is by far the scariest book of the year." -- Christian Science Monitor "A timely and vital contribution . . . [that] glitters with relevance." -- Los Angeles Times

Synopsis
"No one has opened up the CIA to us like Weiner has, and The Mission deserves to win Weiner a second Pulitzer." --The Guardian A masterpiece of reporting based on-the-record interviews with six former CIA directors, the top spymaster, thirteen station chiefs, and scores of top operations officers: The Mission is a gripping and revelatory history of the modern CIA, reaching from 9/11 through its covert operations in Afghanistan and Iraq to today's secret battles with Russia and China, concluding with the Agency's own fight for survival under the current president of the United States Tim Weiner's epic successor to Legacy of Ashes, his National Book Award-winning classic about the CIA's first sixty years At the turn of the century, the Central Intelligence Agency was in crisis. The end of the Cold War had robbed the agency of its mission. More than thirty overseas stations and bases had been shuttered, and scores that remained had been severely cut back. Many countries where surveillance was once deemed crucial went uncovered. Essential intelligence wasn't being collected. At the dawn of the information age, the CIA's officers and analysts worked with outmoded technology, struggling to distinguish the clear signals of significant facts from the cacophony of background noise. Then came September 11th, 2001. After the attacks, the CIA transformed itself into a lethal paramilitary force, running secret prisons and brutal interrogations, mounting deadly drone attacks, and all but abandoning its core missions of espionage and counterespionage. The consequences were grave: the deaths of scores of its recruited foreign agents, the theft of its personnel files by Chinese spies, the penetration of its computer networks by Russian intelligence and American hackers, and the tragedies of Afghanistan and Iraq. A new generation of spies now must fight the hardest targets--Moscow, Beijing, Tehran--while confronting a president who has attacked the CIA as a subversive force. From Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner, The Mission tells the gripping, high-stakes story of the CIA through the first quarter of the twenty-first century, revealing how the agency fought to rebuild the espionage powers it lost during the war on terror--and finally succeeded in penetrating the Kremlin. The struggle has life-and-death consequences for America and its allies. The CIA must reclaim its original mission: know thy enemies. The fate of the free world hangs in the balance. A masterpiece of reporting, The Mission includes exclusive on-the-record interviews with six former CIA directors, the top spymaster, thirteen station chiefs, and scores of top operations officers who served undercover for decades and have never spoken to a journalist before., "Masterful. ... A singular triumph." -- Kirkus, starred review "Triumphant. ... A crucial document of the present times." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review The epic successor to Tim Weiner's National Book Award-winning classic, Legacy of Ashes : a gripping and revelatory history of the CIA in the 21st century, reaching from 9/11 through the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to today's battles with Russia and China--and with the President of the United States.
