A bumbling agency that can’t protect its own spies? A rogue organization prone to covert operations and assassinations? Or a dedicated public service that advances the interests of the United States? Astute TV and movie viewers may have noticed that the CIA’s image in popular media has spanned this entire range, with a decided shift to more positive portrayals in recent years. But what very few people know is that the Central Intelligence Agency has been actively engaged in shaping the content of film and television, especially since it established an entertainment industry liaison program in the mid-1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe CIA in Hollywood\u003c\/i\u003e offers the first full-scale investigation of the relationship between the Agency and the film and television industries. Tricia Jenkins draws on numerous interviews with the CIA’s public affairs staff, operations officers, and historians, as well as with Hollywood technical consultants, producers, and screenwriters who have worked with the Agency, to uncover the nature of the CIA’s role in Hollywood. In particular, she delves into the Agency’s and its officers’ involvement in the production of \u003ci\u003eThe Agency\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIn the Company of Spies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlias\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Recruit\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sum of All Fears\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEnemy of the State\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSyriana\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Shepherd\u003c\/i\u003e, and more. Her research reveals the significant influence that the CIA now wields in Hollywood and raises important and troubling questions about the ethics and legality of a government agency using popular media to manipulate its public image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter One.
