In 1975, fresh out of law school and working in a mind-numbing job at the US Treasury, John Rizzo took 'a total shot in the dark' and sent his resume to the Central Intelligence Agency. He had no notion that more than 30 years later, he would become a notorious public... From a former top-level insider whom the Los Angeles Times has called 'the most influential career lawyer in CIA history' comes an unprecedented memoir filled with revelatory stories about the US government's intelligence program. In 1975, fresh out of law school and working in a mind-numbing job at the US Treasury, John Rizzo took 'a total shot in the dark' and sent his resume to the Central Intelligence Agency. He had no notion that more than 30 years later, he would become a notorious public figure both a symbol and a victim of the toxic winds swirling in post - 9/11 Washington. From approving the rules that governing waterboarding and other 'enhanced interrogation techniques' to serving as the CIA's spokesperson during the Iran- Contra scandal, Rizzo witnessed and participated in virtually all of the significant operations of the CIA's modern history. He was the agency's top lawyer in the years after the 9/11 attacks, and oversaw actions that remain the subject of intense debate today. In Company Man, Rizzo charts the CIA's evolution over the course of his career, and offers a direct window into the organisation during some of its biggest controversies. In doing so, he has produced the most comprehensive insider account of the CIA ever written a groundbreaking, timely, timely, and remarkable personal history of American intelligence. 'Think of Tom Hagen, the Corleone family lawyer in The Godfather, and you begin to get the flavour of what Rizzo had seen and heard. He draws vivid portraits of the agency's great characters and their sometimes outrageous schemes ...If you're interested in the inside life of the CIA, read this book!' David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist and New York Times bestselling author of Body of Lies 'When the CIA was in trouble, big trouble, it called John ...Rizzo knows where the bodies are buried because he helped stash them. Company Man reads like the CIA's conscience ...Why did the CIA violently interrogate suspects and then destroy the evidence? Rizzo knows, and he's talking.'

From the “most influential career lawyer in CIA history” (Los Angeles Times) an unprecedented memoir filled with never-before-told stories from his thirty-year career at the center of the U.S. government’s intelligence program (1976-2009). In 1975, fresh out of law school and working a numbing job at the Treasury Department, John Rizzo took “a total shot in the dark” and sent his résumé to the Central Intelligence Agency. He had no notion that more than thirty years later, after serving under eleven CIA directors and seven presidents, he would become a notorious public figure—a symbol and a victim of the toxic winds swirling in post-9/11 Washington. From serving as the point person answering for the Iran-contra scandal to approving the rules that govern waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques,” John Rizzo witnessed and participated in virtually all of the significant operations of the CIA’s modern history. In Company Man, Rizzo charts the CIA’s evolution from shadowy entity to an organization exposed to new laws, rules, and a seemingly neverending string of public controversies. Rizzo offers a direct window into the CIA in the years after the 9/11 attacks, when he served as the agency’s top lawyer, with oversight of actions that remain the subject of intense debate today. In Company Man, Rizzo is the first CIA official to ever describe what “black sites” look like from the inside and he provides the most comprehensive account ever written of the “torture tape” fiasco surrounding the interrogation of Al Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah and the birth, growth, and death of the enhanced interrogation program. Spanning more than three decades, Company Man is the most authoritative insider account of the CIA ever written—a groundbreaking, timely, and remarkably candid history of American intelligence.
