Agents of Innocence is the book that established David Ignatius's reputation as a master of the contemporary espionage novel. On his web site, the author says about the book, "Although that book was sold as a novel, CIA officials and PLO leaders knew it was a real story. On the CIAs web site for many years, the book was listed among the recommended books about operations, with a note that said, 'Though a novel, senior officers say this book is not fiction.' I am told that at the agencys training facility near Williamsburg, known as The Farm, the book is often recommended to young recruits. Often when traveling abroad in recent years, I have been approached by agency officers who said that when they wanted to explain to a parent or spouse what the CIA really does overseas, they gave them a copy of Agents of Innocence."
