Description
The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins by Annie Jacobsen This book is a behind-the-scenes look at the most shadowy corners of the American intelligence community, revealing the history of covert warfare and state-sanctioned assassinations from WWII to the present. Annie Jacobsen pulls back the curtain on the CIA's paramilitary activities, exploring the lives of brave men and women who have been asked to kill on America's behalf. Since 1947, domestic and foreign assassinations have been executed under the CIA-led covert action operations team. Jacobsen's work sheds light on a poorly understood but essential slice of warfare history, providing a unique insight into the inner workings of the US government's secret plans. Well-sourced and well-paced, this book is full of surprises, offering a character-driven history of CIA covert operations and U.S. government-sponsored assassinations.
