Know about the book -

The Wizards Of Langley is written by Jeffrey T. Richelson and published by Basic Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0786742666 (ISBN 10) and 9780786742660 (ISBN 13).

In this, the first full-length study of the Directorate of Science and Technology, Jeffrey T. Richelson walks us down the corridors of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and through the four decades of science, scientists, and managers that produced the CIA we have today. He tells a story of amazing technological innovation in service of intelligence gathering, of bitter bureaucratic infighting, and sometimes, as in the case of its "mind-control" adventure, of stunning moral failure. Based on original interviews and extensive archival research, The Wizards of Langley turns a piercing lamp on many of the agency's activities, many never before made public.
