Doug Waller

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE DETERMINED SPY

“Unknown to the public, Frank Wisner was one of the most powerful men in the world during the early days of the Cold War. He ran covert actions for the CIA when the spy agency was at the peak of its ambition. That Wisner ended up in a mental hospital and later killed himself was a fascinating and profound tragedy. A thorough and fair-minded historian, Doug Waller reveals the whole story, in gripping detail, and he tells it brilliantly.” —Evan Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Very Best Men and The Road to Surrender
