About The Book

From Bob Woodward, legendary investigative reporter, Veil is the story of the covert wars that were waged by the CIA across Central America, Iran and Libya in a secretive atmosphere and became the centerpieces and eventual time bombs of American foreign policy in the 1980s.

With unprecedented access to the government’s highest-level operators, Woodward recounts one of the most clandestine operations in our nation’s history.
