Publisher's Synopsis
Five scandalous and revealing case studies offer a chilling insight into the negligence, greed, murder and at some times comical disorganisation behind some of the CIA's most controversial secret organisations. Even the most exciting and bizarre science fiction cannot rival the influence the CIA had in the assassination of Martin Luther King. Jr, the 2001 counter-terrorism PATRIOT act and the illegal sale of weapons to Iran despite an arms embargo. Smith makes radical claims but uses facts to write a believable, accessible alternative to mainstream histories.
