Rounding off our weekend of US History, Pulitzer winning journalist and author Tim Weiner joins us to talk about the early history of the CIA. Based on his book Legacy of Ashes, we learn all about the formation of the Central Intelligence Agency, the early conflicts in ethos and why up to and including the Cuban Missile Crisis, success was anything but a given.
