Jim Kenney at the North Shore Senior Center • Spring 2020

The Often-Hidden History of the CIA
(NSSC: Tuesdays,  June 30-July 14, 1:00-2:30 pm; 3 weeks; Non-Member $42; Member: $30)


What can we make of the CIA’s record in espionage and intelligence? Does it all add up to a failure or to a success? To try to answer that question, Jim examines decades of espionage and covert operations. After a look at the CIA’s origins (including the agency’s predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services, or OSS) and its evolution from a intelligence-gathering operation to the United States’s premier covert-action unit, the course will move on to some of the CIA's remarkable and fascinating successes and failures, right up to the controversies that surround the Agency in the Trump era
