The Secret Team

Presents an expose of the CIA in which the author accuses the organization of using brutal tactics to maintain security during the Cold War, including sabotaging the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks and assassinating President Kennedy to keep the United States in Vietnam.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Prouty's exposé 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."

Certainly, Prouty's allegations—such as how the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks—cannot have pleased the CIA.

The Secret Team appears once more with a new introduction by Jesse Ventura.
