SUBJECT : Forthcoming Books of Interest to CIA
1. Per our conversation, attached herewith is a list of
books of interest to CIA which are announced for fall publication.
I have attached a short description of each book. As these descrip-
tions are largely taken from advertising blurbs, they tend, in some
cases, to be somewhat flamboyant.
2. As they become available, selected books of particular
interest on this list will be sent to you (with appropriate reviews).
