The Brothers by Stephen Kinzer

Stephen Kinzer delivers an excellent biography of the Dulles brothers, those cold warriors that shaped and defined so much of modern history - and altho the book could sometimes have had a little less redundant summarizing and a little more historical detail, it was extremely well written, well researched, easy to read, and fascinating.
