Agents of Innocence is the book that established David Ignatius's reputation as a master of the novel of contemporary espionage. Into the treacherous world of shifting alliances and arcane subterfuge comes idealistic CIA man Tom Rogers. Posted in Beirut to penetrate the PLO and recruit a high-level operative, he soon learns the heavy price of innocence in a time and place that has no use for it.

This is an amazing piece of reporting by my colleague @IgnatiusPost. Worthy of a thriller plot but also disturbing. (And, come to think of it, David also writes great thrillers. Start with his first one, “Agents of Innocence.”) https://t.co/WRnTjIzs82
