Nowadays, we don’t hear much about the Dulles brothers despite the impact they had on the United States and its intelligence (the good and the bad). This book seemed to lean more on the gratuitous side, painting an unnuanced picture of John Foster Dulles and Alan Dulles. It felt like the author’s opinion on the men flip-flopped depending on what was being discussed without much discussion around it. As a general biography, it was sturdy.
