520    An explosive, headline-making portrait of Allen Dulles, 
       the man who transformed the CIA into the most powerful-and
       secretive-colossus in Washington, from the founder of 
       Salon.com and author of the New York Times bestseller 
       Brothers America's greatest untold story: the United 
       States' rise to world dominance under the guile of Allen 
       Welsh Dulles, the longest-serving director of the CIA. 
       Drawing on revelatory new materials-including newly 
       discovered US government documents, US and European 
       intelligence sources, the personal correspondence and 
       journals of Allen Dulles' wife and mistress, and exclusive
       interviews with the children of prominent CIA officials-
       Talbot reveals the underside of one of America's most 
       powerful and influential figures. Dulles's decade as the 
       director of the CIA-which he used to further his public 
       and private agendas-were dark times in American politics. 
       Calling himself "the secretary of state of unfriendly 
       countries," Dulles saw himself as above the elected law, 
       manipulating and subverting American presidents in the 
       pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy
       elite he counted as his friends and clients-colluding with
       Nazi-controlled cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi
       in the process. Targeting foreign leaders for 
       assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments not
       in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those 
       same tactics to further his goals at home, Talbot charges,
       offering shocking new evidence in the assassination of 
       President John F. Kennedy. An expose of American power 
       that is as disturbing as it is timely, The Devil's 
       Chessboard is a provocative and gripping story of the rise
       of the national security state-and the battle for 
       America's soul.
