Read by Christopher Lane

Charlie Wilson.s War is the untold story behind the last battle
of the Cold War and how it fueled the rise of militant Islam.
George Crile tells how Charlie Wilson, a maverick congressman
from east Texas, conspired with a rogue CIA operative to launch
the biggest, meanest, and most successful covert operation in
the Agency.s history.

In the early 1980s, after a Houston socialite turned Wilson.s
attention to the ragged Afghan freedom fighters who continued
to fight the Soviet invaders despite overwhelming odds, the
congressman became passionate about their cause and procured
hundreds of millions of dollars to support the mujahideen.

Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol, to secret chambers
at Langley, to arms-dealers conventions, to the Khyber Pass,
this book is a detailed and brilliantly reported account of the
inside workings of the CIA.
