One of the most compelling spy thrillers ever written, the New York Times bestselling novel The Company lays bare the history and inner workings of the CIA.
This critically acclaimed blockbuster from internationally renowned novelist Robert Littell seamlessly weaves together history and fiction to create a multigenerational, wickedly nostalgic saga of the CIA—known as "the Company" to insiders.
Racing across a landscape spanning the legendary Berlin Base of the '50s, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Bay of Pigs, Afghanistan, and the Gorbachev putsch, The Company tells the thrilling story of agents imprisoned in double lives, fighting an amoral, elusive, formidable enemy—and each other—in an internecine battle within the Company itself.
A brilliant, stunningly conceived epic thriller, adapted as a miniseries starring Chris O'Donnell, Alfred Molina, and Michael Keaton, The Company confirms Littell's place among the genre's elite.
From the legendary Berlin Base of the 1950s to the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Bay of Pigs, Afghanistan, and the Gorbachev putsch, this masterwork follows CIA operatives locked in double lives—fighting an elusive, amoral enemy and, at times, each other. With breathtaking scope and razor-sharp detail, Littell lays bare the internecine battles within "the Company" itself, crafting a dazzling anatomy of Cold War espionage.
