Sullivan spent 31 years as a polygraph examiner for the Central Intelligence Agency. In this memoir, he touts the value of his craft and describes its techniques. He also offers an insider's view of the bureaucratic turf wars that are fought over resources, personnel, and mandate within the CIA and offers his own criticisms of the Agency's organizational culture.
