Drawing on his access to classified information and top-level involvement in policy decisions, Gates lays bare the hidden wars and operations the United States waged against communism worldwide. Ever certain that the fifty-year struggle with the Soviet Union was indeed a war, Gates makes candid appraisals of Presidents, key officials, and policies of the period. Among his disclosures are: how Carter laid the foundations for Reagan's covert wars against the Soviets; CIA predictions of a conservative coup against Gorbachev and the collapse of the Soviet Union; CIA and KGB black operations against each other; the secret relationship between Pope John Paul II and the Soviets; and three secret CIA-KGB summits. <p/><i>From the Shadows</i> is a classic memoir on the career of a CIA officer at the center of power during a time when the threat of global annihilation informed America's every move.
