Directors of Central Intelligence as Leaders of the U.S. Intelligence Community, 1946-2005 by Douglas Garthoff
President Harry Truman created the job of director of central intelligence (DCI) in 1946 so that he and other senior administration officials could turn to one person for foreign intelligence briefings. The DCI was the head of the Central Intelligence Group until 1947, when he became the director of the newly created Central Intelligence Agency.
Douglas F. Garthoff worked for the CIA from 1972 to 1999, starting out in the Office of National Estimates as an analyst of Soviet affairs. His career coincided with the tenure of eleven of the nineteen DCIs profiled in this book, and he worked closely with two, Robert Gates and R. James Woolsey.
