The book is designed to dilute Clay Shaw's poisonous CIA doings in a feel-good description of his life and person. It is sort of like doing a personal profile of Hitler or Goebbels and trying to say there was another warm family or cultural side to them. This is typical CIA damage control propaganda the likes we have seen from many other authors like Dallek, Caro etc. The unstated theme is that the fascist cabal of CIA-oriented persons who assassinated Kennedy were not all bad guys.
Shaw was mixed in with Permindex. He was an old reliable Angleton, WWII intel player. The European Permindex theater was a hot one and one of the most important theaters of the Cold War, which shows Shaw's true status and its relationship to the Kennedy assassination. Carpenter wants to show us Shaw the interior decorator.
