"What happens when the world of venture capital collides with the world of espionage? To find the answer, Jonathan E. Lewis takes us inside the executive suite at Itek Corporation during the Cold War years from 1957 to 1965. Itek was manufacturing the world's most sophisticated satellite reconnaissance cameras, and the information these cameras provided about Soviet missiles and military activity was critical to U.S. security. So was Itek.
This intriguing book examines in unprecedented detail the challenges Itek faced not only as a contractor for the most important national security program of the time - the CIA's Project CORONA spy satellite - but also as a start-up company competing with established industrial giants." "In telling the story of Itek Corporation Lewis fills important gaps in the history of American intelligence, business history, and management studies."--BOOK JACKET.
