Melvin A. Goodman

As a former senior CIA analyst and author critiquing the inner workings of the US intelligence community, Melvin A. Goodman brings peerless authority, gravitas, and first-person source material to a subject that is of intense interest to those on all positions of the political spectrum: the failure of US intelligence to keep the country safe by providing neutral, politically unbiased facts and analysis.
