Perfecting the Family
A story beautifully told, Peter Grose's biography of Allen Dulles is one of the most accurate books ever written concerning the birth of modern espionage. Compelling, accurate, non-fiction books on intelligence are rare, and this particular piece of work is one of the few that pass historians' tests.
The book follows an urbane member of the American Establishment on his romantic quest to create the most sophisticated espionage organization the world has ever known. The grandson of a Secretary of State, and brother of a Secretary of Defense, he quite possibly made more of an impact on the current shape of our world than either, without a public profile. An incurable romantic, he brought Kipling's Kim with him on the night he went into the hospital to die.
Peter Grose was the ideal biographer for so elusive a subject.
