For Lust of Knowing: Memoirs of an Intelligence Officer

Rating:
Summary: Back to the Field, Archie
Review: You pick up this book hoping, and even expecting, that something riveting will meet you inside. But nothing does. Just a heavy dose of reporting who Archie meets, where, and when. This must be how intelligence reports read.

But it was better for Archie, as the extra contemplative son of TR, to do something cool with his life. I guess he did play a role in the Iranian activities of the CIA having something to do with the Shah. Which had to be more interesting than hanging around Oyster Bay reenacting scenes from his childhood.

It's just that this report of what he did, well, is just not that interesting to read. I keep it on a certain shelf in a certain place in Florida. I'll let you know if it hits me differently in the future.
