Introduction

The United States federal agency charged with gathering foreign intelligence is the Central Intelligence Agency or the CIA.

The CIA is tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information as well as conducting covert action and clandestine operations. 

It was created in the shadow of the Second World War and became one of the most important organizations during the Cold War, as well as the most powerful intelligence organization in the world.
