Description
The Secret Team: A Rare Glimpse into Covert Operations In this explosive exposé, L. Fletcher Prouty reveals the CIA's brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War. First published in the 1970s, the book was largely forgotten, with all but a handful of copies disappearing from circulation. Prouty's account includes the President's attempts to control the CIA, the nature of clandestine operations, and the Dulles-Jackson-Correa Report in action. Prouty's allegations, including the manipulation of the U-2 Crisis of 1960, were likely to have been met with skepticism by the CIA. However, his revelations offer a unique insight into the inner workings of the intelligence community. With a new introduction by bestselling author Governor Jesse Ventura, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of espionage and the global politics of the time. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the concept of national sovereignty is being eroded. The Secret Team offers a timely reminder of the power of global interests and the influence of big business and politics.
