Prophetic when first published, even more relevant now, Wedge is the classic, definitive story of the secret war America has waged against itself.
Based on scores of interviews with former spies and thousands of declassified documents, Wedge reveals and re-creates -- battle by battle, bungle by bungle -- 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 fistfights and turf tangles, breakdowns and cover-ups, public scandals and tragic deaths.
A grand panorama of dramatic episodes, peopled by picaresque secret agents from Ian Fleming to Oliver North, Wedge is both a journey and a warning. 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 enforcement and intelligence.
Gripping and authoritative -- and updated with an important new epilogue, carrying the action through to September 11, 2001 -- Wedge is the only book about the schism that has informed nearly every major blunder in American espionage.

Love the boots! Had them for 3 yrs and just bought a pair for my daughter. Sleet, snow and rain always kept my feet warm and dry.

Size runs wear!
Size: 6 Women/5 Men, Color: Black
The ankle area is super tight so it’s hard to put them on and harder to take them off. They run big because I wear a size 6 and these fit like a half size bigger. Returning them!

The struggle is worth it
Size: 13 Women/12 Men, Color: Black
It is a true struggle to get my feet into these. I bought size 12, and you would think they'd scale up the opening for larger foot sizes, but no. I feel like I'm going to rip the tag off every time I have to stretch them out to get them on. So far they have held up. (Tip: start with your foot sideways, then rotate the shoe once you get it in halfway to the heel.) That said, these shoes are beautiful and comfortable (once you get them on). They're warm, and they perform well on the snow (after waterproofing).
