Thomas Smith, Jr. It is an encyclopedic work on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the only independent agency of the United States federal government that is tasked with intelligence-gathering. The work chronicles the history of the agency from its founding in 1947 through the War on Terror, which began after September 11, 2001. The encyclopedia's chronology ends in 2003. It provides approximately 550 entries across 282 pages on topics including notable contributors, intelligence operations, historical events, and depictions of the CIA in fictional media. The encyclopedia was praised by the ''School Library Journal'' for its reference value and comprehensiveness. ''Booklist'' recommended the encyclopedia be placed in academic, public, and high school libraries as a helpful resource. ''Publishers Weekly'' was critical of the author's objectivity, suggesting that the encyclopedia was biased in favor of the agency's intelligence operations, but concluded that the book was still a useful reference tool. ==Background== ''Encyclopedia of the Central Intelligence Agency'' is written by W. Thomas Smith, Jr.〔 Prior to authoring the work, he served in the United States Marine Corps as a paratrooper and leader within the infantry.〔 Smith worked as a journalist for the ''Star-Reporter'' in Columbia, South Carolina, and subsequently taught journalism at the University of South Carolina.〔 Smith gave an interview to the Columbia newspaper ''The State'' about his book and his interest in researching the history of the Central Intelligence Agency. He explained that he was long interested in researching military history, and was initially asked by the American Society of Journalists and Authors to put together a monograph on the 1944 Invasion of Normandy by Western Allied forces during Operation Overlord in World War II.〔 His literary representative later telephoned him to ask if he would instead be interested in writing an encyclopedia detailing the history of the CIA.〔 Smith agreed as he felt the CIA was highly relevant to military history.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Encyclopedia of the Central Intelligence Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
