Charles McCarry has been called the best American espionage writer who ever lived. Now, with the re-release of his classic Paul Christopher series, comes The Last Supper, a tour-de-force that traces the evolution of the OSS and the CIA from the aftermath of World War I through World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War.

To Paul Christopher, the world of espionage had become a region of the mad, in which men and women lived without conviction and were compelled by a craving for conspiracy. But now, he has to find the "mole" in the Outfit and demand justice from enemies, past and present. As he follows the twisting path of this secret American intelligence group, he discovers a trail of betrayal and violence that leads backward to the horrors of the Nazi era and plunges forward beyond the Vietnam War's labyrinth of lies.

About 14 1/2 hours in the story jumps backwards about an hour and then goes through to finish from there. Other than that it is fantastic book. I was hooked from start to finish and can’t wait to experience more of his books

Multi generational CIA book, definitely influenced Littell's "The Company"
Although the Company is a better book, Mccarry deserves credit. There aren't many good writers in this genre, so you have to take what you can get. None of these guys compares to Alan Furst, LeCarre's first "Call for the Dead" was his best, still no where near Furst.

Written before "The Company"

Much more than filling in missing details of Christopher's family, this cements McCarry's story telling skills as the best in the genre, and in my view, beyond.

Entertaining and sometimes brutal events are like a river float, a calm current offeringf idyllic sunlit views, then, suddenly snarled in a dark swirl of danger and confusion.

The narrator's pace and voicing was perfect, knowing what was to remain hidden, lies so believable, tender cuts.

Loved it, and motivated to reread the other books in the collection.

Brilliant

This was by far the best Paul Christopher so far. I can’t imagine where the story goes from here.

Loved it

Wonderful dialogue. McCarry kept my attention throughout the winding tale. Must be read after Tears of Autumn.

Fascinating Tale
