Hersh's writing style is different -- a bit haughty (or even elitist),
but seldom boring. His view of the CIA's self-anointed Ivy Leaguers
playing in their international sandbox, while the effects of their work
are best described with Cold War body counts, is basically critical.
However, one cannot shake the suspicion that Hersh's objections are based
more on closet envy than on ethical considerations. This book is well-
received among Hersh's colleagues in the Association of Former Intelligence
Officers, most of whom would like nothing better than to return to the
glory days before all of the embarrassing revelations and congressional
oversight. If a book can be judged by its fans, then perhaps Hersh's
critical style ought to be a bit more direct.
