The controversial memoir of an American soldier, that was the inspiration behind the international box office hit Syriana - by the producers of Erin Brokovich and starring Golden Globe Winner George Clooney as Robert Baer. See No Evil is a top 10 US bestseller.

'Syriana is light years from the standard Hollywood movie. It's meaty, intelligent and engrossing.' Time Magazine

'You see Syriana with the exhilarating feeling that a movie can make a difference. It's the kind of give-em-hell filmmaking that Hollywood left for dead, the kind that matters.' Rolling Stone

See No Evil is the astonishing and controversial memoir from one of the CIA's top field officers of the past quarter century. Robert Baer recounts his career as a ground soldier in the CIA's war on terrorism, running agents in the back alleys of the Middle East, with blistering honesty. He paints a chilling picture of how terrorism works on the inside and provides compelling evidence about how Washington sabotaged the CIA's efforts to root out the world's deadliest terrorists. See No Evil is an unprecedented examination of the roots of modern terrorism and the CIA's failure to acknowledge and neutralise the growing fundamentalist threat, and an engrossing memoir of Baer's education as an intelligence operative.

See No Evil includes revelations about the strategic alliance Osama bin Laden forged with Iran in 1996 to mastermind terrorist attacks on the United States and elsewhere, about the planned coup d'etat against Saddam Hussein and how it was aborted by the National Security Council, and about the CIA's disastrous decision in 1991 to shut down its operations in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, ignoring the fundamentalists working in those countries.

An extraordinary testimony that has become even more vital and damning since the events of 9/11 and the subsequent War on Iraq.
