This classic Cold War-era history looks at the way President Dwight Eisenhower managed America’s secret operations as general and as commander in chief and is based on privileged access to the president and his private papers—from bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose. During his time in office, Eisenhower projected the image of a genial bureaucrat, but behind that public face, he ran the most efficient espionage establishment in the world, overseeing assassination plots, the growth of the CIA, and the overthrow of governments. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most ambitious secret operations in American history, including the 1954 overthrow of  Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán’s government of Guatemala; Operation AJAX, which toppled Iran’s Mossadegh; and the U-2 flights over Russia. Some of Ike’s most conspicuous intelligence missteps are also discussed, including the failure to predict the German attack during the Battle of the Bulge and the tragic encouragement of freedom fighters in Hungary, Indonesia, and Cuba. Ike’s Spies is indispensible to anyone interested in the development of America’s Cold War spy operations.

This book is essentially in two parts. The first concerns Eisenhower's use of military intelligence as Allied commander in chief in Europe from 1942 to 1945. It is particularly good on his use of military intelligence before and immediately after the invasion of North Africa in November 1942, Operation Torch. He focuses book on Ike's use of human spies and of Ultra, the British code-breaking effort. His explanation for the Allied failure to anticipate Hitler's Ardennes offensive of December 1944 is very convincing. This book is must reading for all WWII buffs interested in the Allied war effort in Western Europe.The second part is Eisenhower's relationship to the CIA and the NSA during his presidency from 1953 to 1961. This part focuses in particular on the two successful CIA coup d'etats in Iran and Guatemala in 1953 and 1954 respectively and the failed CIA invasion of Cuba in April 1961 at the Bay of Pigs and Eisenhower's role in it before he left the White House. It is a bit dated but still very good.
