Brief CV

He is considered one of the most profound experts on American intelligence systems . He received two Pulitzer Prizes for his reports and his coverage of the secret " National Security Program " that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had secretly launched together with the Pentagon . In 1988, as a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer , he uncovered arms research and arms spending by the US government, financed by reptile funds and beyond parliamentary control.

He reported as a correspondent from Afghanistan , Pakistan , Sudan and fifteen other countries in which he also researched CIA operations.

For his book CIA: The Whole Story , he won the 2007 National Book Award for nonfiction and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for history. His book One Man Against the World - The Tragedy of Richard Nixon was "largely polemical, shallow and short of breath, " said Alfred Defago .
