By: Michael V. HaydenFrom the bestselling author of The Assault on Intelligence, an unprecedented high-level master narrative of America's intelligence wars, demonstrating in a time of new threats that espionage and the search for facts are essential to our democracy
For General Michael Hayden, playing to the edge means playing so close to the line that you get chalk dust on your cleats. Otherwise, by playing back, you may protect yourself, but you will be less successful in protecting America. "Play to the edge" was Hayden's guiding principle when he ran the National Security Agency, and it remained so when he ran CIA. In his view, many shortsighted and uninformed people are quick to criticize, and this book will give them much to chew on but little easy comfort; it is an unapologetic insider's look told from the perspective of the people who faced awesome responsibilities head on, in the moment.
How did American intelligence respond to terrorism, a major war and the most sweeping technological revolution in the last 500 years? What was NSA before 9/11 and how did it change in its aftermath? Why did NSA begin the controversial terrorist surveillance program that included the acquisition of domestic phone records? What else was set in motion during this period that formed the backdrop for the infamous Snowden revelations in 2013?
As Director of CIA in the last three years of the Bush administration, Hayden had to deal with the rendition, detention and interrogation program as bequeathed to him by his predecessors. He also had to ramp up the agency to support its role in the targeted killing program that began to dramatically increase in July 2008. This was a time of great crisis at CIA, and some agency veterans have credited Hayden with actually saving the agency. He himself won't go that far, but he freely acknowledges that CIA helped turn the American security establishment into the most effective killing machine in the history of armed conflict.
For 10 years, then, General Michael Hayden was a participant in some of the most telling events in the annals of American national security. General Hayden's goals are in writing this book are simple and unwavering: No apologies. No excuses. Just what happened. And why. As he writes, "There is a story here that deserves to be told, without varnish and without spin. My view is my view, and others will certainly have different perspectives, but this view deserves to be told to create as complete a history as possible of these turbulent times. I bear no grudges, or at least not many, but I do want this to be a straightforward and readable history for that slice of the American population who depend on and appreciate intelligence, but who do not have the time to master its many obscure characteristics."

Great will use it over and over again
I will use this in every car I own from now. Cleaned it real well did exactly what it said so and my truck runs a lot better definitely can tell the difference.. it was work the extra oil and work. The bottle I bought came with instructions in English, which made it easy for me. The quality of it is light brake cleaner, but meant for engines and it ran great very easy to use this pour in.

Calidad de limpieza al motor
Excelente producto, lo llevo usándolo un buen tiempo, en cada cambio de aceite, limpia bien por dentro del motor. Es fácil usarlo, hecharlo donde se llena el aceite del motor, y enciende el motor espere 10 minutos, y apague el motor, y vuelve a esperar 25 o 30 minutos para que se enfríe el motor, ya cumplido lo 25 o 30 minutos sacar el aceite viejo del motor. Listo, producto muy recomendable. Excelente funcionamiento, chevy silverado 2004

Excellent plugs, superb performance
Exactly as described at a decent price. I've found over my decades of doing my own tune ups, the one thing you can't skimp
on when tuning up your vehicle, plugs and its shows if you do. Out of the box, all 4 were gapped correctly. Ease of installation depends on your vehicle and ones mechanical ability with PATIENCE. 100% compatible with my vehicle, be sure to match you numbers. Overall 5 stars for performance and price.
