This show features an in-depth conversation with author Tim Weiner about his new book, "The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century." Drawing from the full span of the 21st century, Weiner discusses the agency's evolution, covering everything from the rise of counterterrorism and controversial programs like torture and renditions, to significant successes such as dismantling nuclear proliferation networks and penetrating the Kremlin. The discussion also delves into the complex realities of intelligence work, the challenges posed by foreign threats and domestic political shifts, and personal anecdotes that shaped his career covering the CIA.
