The Achilles Trap

The book offers a detailed look at covert operations and political decisions. I'm curious what led Steve Coll to focus on this specific aspect of history.

The intricate web of relationships and decisions made me rethink how much of this history I was unaware of. Were others surprised by some of these revelations?

Coll's sourcing seems meticulous, but I wonder what guided his choices in balancing government documents, interviews, and other materials.
