See no evil. Roberto Baer. New York: Crown Publishers, 2002. The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 shocked the world. Many people have died and the scar still remains in people's hearts. Was this whole thing predictable? No, but it could have been avoided, says Robert Baer in his book See No Evil. This book is the memoir of a man who joined the CIA to satisfy his curiosity about what was happening in the world, and began to realize the problems the CIA faced and the untold inside story he encountered. Baer worked for the CIA for 20 years. He started in India and toured countries that most Americans would never have heard of or set foot in. He worked as an officer in the Directorate of Operations, where the task was to recruit agents to collect intelligence from the assigned country and transmit it to the Directorate of Intelligence. In the beginning he made many mistakes and sometimes almost died. As time went on, however, he became better and better at his job, the number of mistakes he made decreased, and the information he collected became bigger and more important. On April 18, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, a terrorist group attacked the American embassy. A truck crashed into the embassy, ​​detonating a bomb that killed 63 people, including 6 CIA agents. Never before had the CIA lost so many agents in a single attack. Baer received this news while studying Arabic in Tunis. He thought that a radical Palestinian group was behind this and that they would be captured in a week or so. He was wrong. The attackers did really well to ensure that the CIA was unable to locate the ringleader. Baer tried to capture them throughout his career as a CIA officer, although this case was never officially solved... middle of paper... oh the reader's attention, and his reports of non-stop action make it's hard to put the book down. His dramatic prose conveys a fictional story. He describes himself as a hero who fights the evil side of his own country. He criticizes the CIA and America a lot for what they did and what they didn't do. At the beginning and end of this book, Baer talks about 9/11. He says it could have been avoided if the CIA stuck to its style of recruiting good agents and went to great lengths to gather intelligence. His goal is for the CIA to learn from this incident and says: "They should start listening to people again, no matter how unpleasant the message is. The CIA has no choice but to go out once again and start talking to people .And He believes that the only way to defeat the enemy is to know what he will do and be ready.
