Description:A gripping new history of US presidents and CIA secrets...Every day, the President of the United States receives a bespoke, top-secret briefing document from the Central Intelligence Agency. Truman started them, Kennedy came to rely on them and Trump hardly read them.

Using recently declassified documents, it uncovers what successive American presidents knew and when, and what they did in response. The Cold War nuclear arms race, the Vietnam War and 9/11 might never have happened if presidents had read their Daily Briefs differently.
