为什么值得读
- 梳理了美国更迭外国政权的大量干预行动
- 指出该机构历史上充斥着无能与政治内耗
- 全书考据扎实且曾获美国国家图书奖
这里记录了 CIA 不为人知的历史：为何十一任总统和三代 CIA 官员都未能真正理解这个世界；为何几乎历任 CIA 局长离任时该机构的状况都比上任时更加糟糕；以及这些失败如何深刻危及了美国国家安全。六十年来，尽管战绩糟糕，CIA 仍凭借将失误深埋于绝密档案中而维持了令人敬畏的声誉。它的使命是了解世界——而在未能如愿时，它却转而着手改变世界。作者提供了首部权威的

……政府曾试图重新夺回这些资产的控制权，并在很多情况下把它们归还给本该拥有它们的原住民往往贫困的农村社区。蒂姆·韦纳的书《灰烬的遗产》（Legacy of Ashes）很好地概述了美国为了更替威胁到西方经济统治地位的政权而发动的多次“干预”行动。懒得看书的人可以看维基百科上的详细列表：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...…
…governments were attempting to seize back control of these assets, and in many cases grant them back to the often poor and rural communities that should have owned them in the first place. Tim Weiner's book Legacy of Ashes is a good overview of the many "interventions" the US undertook to replace regimes that threatened the economic domination of the West. For the lazy, Wikipedia provides a decent list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...…
我最近读完了蒂姆·韦纳写的《灰烬的遗产》（Legacy of Ashes），这是一部CIA的发展史。他基本上认为，整个组织在历史上一直都充斥着无能和政治倾轧。这真的让我大开眼界，原来……

……是否拥有武器，根本无法说明Stuxnet是否有效。这是个逻辑问题。我也不知道这种观念到底是从哪儿来的。读读关于情报机构的书吧……比如《灰烬的遗产》（Legacy of Ashes）http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Ashes-History-Tim-Weiner/dp/038... 除此之外，这其实是非常基础的系统论。情报机构的监管，至少在美国，是非常松散的。负责监管的人……
…will have a weapon tell us nothing about the effectiveness of Stuxnet. This is a matter of logic. I also don't know where this perception comes from Reading books about intelligence services...like Legacy of Ashes http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Ashes-History-Tim-Weiner/dp/038... Beyond that, this is really basic systems theory. Intelligence service oversight, at least in the US, is very lax. The people doing oversight…
我一直在读蒂姆·韦纳的绝赞之作《灰烬的遗产》（Legacy of Ashes），这是一部CIA的历史。每个人都应该读一读；它获得了美国国家图书奖，总体上研究扎实、资料来源详尽。它表明CIA本质上就是一个长期违宪的……
I have been reading Tim Weiner's excellent "Legacy of Ashes", a history of the CIA. Everyone should read it; it won a national book award and is generally well-researched and sourced. What it indicates is that the CIA is essentially a long-running unconstitutional…
如果你想读点关于国家赞助的颠覆行动的有趣读物，我推荐蒂姆·韦纳的《灰烬的遗产》（Legacy of Ashes）。里面有极度精彩的暗中破坏行动，以及由战略情报局（OSS）和CIA执行的令人难以置信、但确实真实发生且大多未被载入史册的美国与世界历史事件。
If you want to read something interesting regarding sponsored subversion, I recommend 'Legacy of Ashes' by Tim Weiner. Fantastic hacks and incredible, yet true and widely uncredited events in US and world history executed by the OSS and CIA.
