Lear is the most titanic figure in all drama. When Carnovsky first enters, dressed in a purple tunic, a silver-trimmed orange cloak, and a heavy gray embossed baldric, he mounts an improvised black bear-skin throne, stands with right hand alott, and all those present instinctively kneel. Though an octogenarian, this Lear is no weakling. He is not just a great man; he is not even just a king; he seems to be almost a god implanted on Olympus.

This book, by a pseudonymous author who served the U.S. Government in a variety of intrigues over a 16-year period, aims at-and intelligently succeeds in-explaining the theory and purpose of cloak-and-dagger work. It also argues that every serious U.S. failure, from the U-2 to the Bay of Pigs, "has either been caused or compounded by those responsible ignoring or brushing aside the classic principles of secret operations...
