The Director: A Novel by David Ignatius (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Director by David Ignatius A New York Times Bestseller. "If you think cybercrime and potential worldwide banking meltdown is a fiction, read this sensational thriller."—Bob Woodward, Politico FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Graham Weber has been the director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA director most dreads. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which its drawn, The Director is a maze of double dealing, about a world where everything is written in zeroes and ones—and nothing can be trusted. Author Biography David Ignatius, best-selling author and prize-winning columnist for the Washington Post, has been covering the Middle East and the CIA for more than twenty-five years. He lives in Washington, DC.
