The definitive story of the secret war America has waged against itself. Reveals and re-creates the epic clash that has made America uniquely vulnerable to its enemies. For more than six decades, the opposed and overlapping missions of the FBI and CIA -- and the rival personalities of cops and spies -- have caused fist-fights and turf tangles, breakdowns and cover-ups, public scandals and tragic deaths. From Pearl Harbor, McCarthyism, and the plots to kill Castro through the JFK assassination, Watergate, and Iran Contra down to the Aldrich Ames affair, Robert Hanssen's treachery, and the hunt for Al Qaeda -- "Wedge" shows the price America has paid for its failure to resolve the conflict between law enforce. and intelligence. Updated with an new epilogue through 9/11.
