Review:
At first I thought this would really be a biography of Senator Church, but it really is a biography of the Church Committee. While there are some biographical components of Church and others, for the most part this looks at his efforts to try to hold the intelligence community to account and, as mentioned in the afterword, Cheney was still fighting the battle when he got post-9/11 legislation passed to relieve a lot of the strictures put in place as a result of the committee's work. This lead, of course, torture among a handbag of other despicable acts.
