Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Roger Ressmeyer (Jacket photograph) (illustrator). xvii, [1], 702 pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Embossed initials on fep. Tim Weiner (born June 20, 1956) is an American reporter and author. He is the author of four books and co-author of a fifth, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. He is a graduate of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. Weiner worked for the Times from 1993 to 2009 as a foreign correspondent in Mexico, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan and as a national security correspondent in Washington, DC. Weiner won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting as an investigative reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer. His book Blank Check: The Pentagon's Black Budget is based on that newspaper series. He won the National Book Award in Nonfiction for his 2007 book Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA. He is the director of the nonfiction residency program for reporters, writers, and documentary makers at the Carey Institute in Rensselaerville, New York. Derived from a Kirkus review: The CIA started off on the wrong foot in 1947 and never regained it, maintains Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Weiner. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower believed intelligence could prevent another Pearl Harbor by uncovering Soviet intentions, but the CIA never predicted an important Soviet or terrorist move, the author avers. The agency devotes most of its budget to covert operations. Aided by documents declassified since 2000, Weiner offers a litany of failed operations the agency did its best to cover up. Two widely praised successes-the 1953 Iranian coup that placed the Shah on the throne and the overthrow of a leftist Guatemalan government in 1954-are now considered mistakes. Though highly critical of the CIA, Weiner makes a mitigating points; democracies are not obligated to fight fire with fire: CIA money won more hearts and minds than pseudo-KGB ruthlessness, and KGB debacles contributed mightily to the USSR's decline.

To millions of sports fans, the ane conjures up the image of a reticent loner, withdrawn from the public, hostile to the press. Now the basketball legend steps out from behind his mask to reveal the man behind the stormy public image. From Harlem to UCLA and beyond, here is the fascination evolution of middle-class Lew Alcindor - the good boy who did all the right things until they seemed wrong - into Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, devout Muslim and angry, articulate spokesman for his race. With remarkable honesty, humor and insight, Kareem shows us the tall, gangly child forever being challenged and often being beaten up on Manhattan's mean streets; the shy adolescent who took to sports as a means of developing badly needed confidence and self-esteem; and the celebrated high school athlete who learned the rules of the game from a mentor who gave him his first taste of humiliation. In Giant Steps, Kareem reveals the motives for choosing UCLA, and the culture shock he was to undergo in the "blond surfer" world of Southern California. He talks about the decision not to participate in the 1968 Olympics, and the scandal and hate mail that resulted. He speaks candidly about his experiences with drugs in college, and the conversion to Islam that changed his life. And for the first time, he explains the full story behind the tragedy that made national headlines - when several fellow Muslims were found murdered in his Washington, D.C. townhouse. Of course Giant Steps is also the exhilarating story of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, superstar center and NBA legend. Here are the shocking facts of big-league drugs and sex; the smoldering anger that triggered his one-punch knockout of Kent Benson in the opening moments of the 1977 season; his life on the road and his rocky battles with the press. Kareem takes this opportunity to set the record straight on his long, well-publicized friendship with fellow basketball great, Wilt Chamberlain. From the late-night card games at Chamberlain's osh Central Park penthouse to the famous "wide body" airlines commercial that brought an end to years of bitter silence, here is the story of one of basketball's most touching frienships. Finally, Kareem's most personal revelation of all: why his own marriage failed, and how he achieved the hard-won maturity that has brought him a meaningful love at last. At 7'2" there has always been something of a natural barrier between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the rest of the world. Now at last in Giant Steps he lets down that barrier to explore fully the public and private world of the superstar and the man, and to take us on a fascinating tour not only of his fifteen years of professional basketball but of three turbulent decades in America." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
