Description
A gripping and timely exposé of America's national security state, this book reveals the dark truths that one senator dared to expose. Senator Frank Church led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and was a scathing critic of American imperialism, yet he faced his greatest challenge when tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community. Church's investigation uncovered shocking secrets, including assassination plots by the CIA, links between the Kennedy dynasty and the mafia, and surveillance of civil rights activists by the NSA and FBI. The revelations shook the nation to its core, forever changing the way Americans thought about their government and its accountability. This book is a powerful reminder that one person can make a difference in holding those in power accountable.
