, Covertaction "^RLost Promise is one of the most critical books about the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to be published in recent years. Lost Promise constitutes a genuine attempt to analyse and fix what is wrong with an arm of government that costs millions of dollars to administer and which, according to Gentry, neither furnishes the President with timely intelligence nor provides the taxpayer with value for money. Clearly, it cannot have been easy to write Lost Promise and it must have taken considerable courage and personal sacrifice to do so. Lost Promise^I is a timely book that should be of considerable interest to all those who are currently involved in pondering the role that intelligence should play in the twenty-first century." --Open Source Solutions, Inc. "The book is evidence that Gentry is no rabble-rousing misfit with a mistaken agenda. He lays out his argument with straightforward clarity, even restraint. His reasoned account of what has been going on in CIA in the last decade and more couldn't be more factual, less sensationalized.
