Summary:
"The
CIA
in
Hollywood
offers the first full-scale investigation of the relationship between the
Agency
and the
film
and
television
industries. Tricia Jenkins draws on numerous interviews with the CIA’s public affairs staff, operations officers, and historians, as well as with
Hollywood
technical consultants, producers, and screenwriters who have worked with the
Agency
, to uncover the nature of the CIA’s role in
Hollywood
. In particular, she delves into the Agency’s and its officers’ involvement in the production of The
Agency
, In the Company of Spies, Alias, The Recruit, The Sum of All Fears, Enemy of the State, Syriana, The Good Shepherd, and more. Her research reveals the significant influence that the
CIA
now wields in
Hollywood
and raises important and troubling questions about the ethics and legality of a government
agency
using popular media to manipulate its public image."--From publisher.
