From Library Journal:
This is a charming, anecdotal report of a life spent in intelligence work in the Middle East and Africa. Grandson of one president and nephew of another, Roosevelt attended Groton and Harvard. He demonstrated a serious approach to learning "exotic" foreign languages and cultures, and a sensitive interest in the people and places he encountered. He says little about his specific activites in World War II military intelligence and post-war CIA work, but portrays the history and atmosphere of the region in lively sketches. Concluding chapters discuss his commitment to preserving American values and his views on the CIA. But the book appeals largely through colorful stories and fascinating personalities. Recommended. Elizabeth R. Hayford, Associated Colls. of the Midwest, Chicago
