The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Prouty’s expose´ of the CIA’s brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War, was first published in the 1970s. However, virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, having been purchased en masse by shady “private buyers.” Prouty’s topics include:
- President Kennedy tried to control the CIA.
- The nature of clandestine operations.
- The Dulles-Jackson-Correa Report in action
- Defense, containment, and anti-communism
- Khrushchev’s Challenge: the U-2 dilemma
- From the Bay of Pigs to Dallas.
- And much more!
