George Crile tells how Charlie Wilson, a maverick congressman from east Texas, conspired with a rogue CIA operative to launch the biggest, meanest, and most successful covert operation in the Agency’s history. In the early 1980s, after a Houston socialite turned Wilson’s attention to the ragged Afghan freedom fighters who continued to fight the Soviet invaders despite overwhelming odds, the congressman became passionate about their cause and procured hundreds of millions of dollars to support the mujahideen. Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol, to secret chambers at Langley, to arms-dealers conventions, to the Khyber Pass, this book is a detailed and brilliantly reported account of the inside workings of the CIA. From Wiki: In the late 1980s Crile began the research and reporting on the Afghan War that led to his 2003 best-selling book, Charlie Wilson's War, which tells the story of how the United States funded the only successful jihad in modern history, the CIA's secret war in Afghanistan that gave the Soviet Union their own Vietnam. The support for the Afghans, which took place via a Pakistani corridor, according to some strained interpretiations led to a later jihad against westerners, which Crile claimed to have foreseen.Charlie Wilson’s War has been widely and favorably reviewed and is currently in its 10th printing. It is the basis of the Tom Hanks/Mike Nichols film, released in 2007. George Crile was an award-winning documentary filmmaker and veteran producer for 60 Minutes. Charlie Wilson's War began as a 60 Minutes profile in 1988. Winner of the 2004 Audie Award
