First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Copyright 1973 by L. Fletcher Prouty. Third printing; number-line beginning w/3. Orangish-red full cloth boards, block black spine titles, moderate shelf wear. Pages very good; no writing. Light discoloration to exterior text block, front pastedown and adjacent endpaper. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Near very good first printing. Summary: "Sponsored by President Truman and established by an act of Congress, the CIA was initially founded as a data coordinating and intel gathering agency to combat the Cold War after WWII. Through drastic change, its role and operations are became unrecognizable and its power clandestine and out of control. Colonel Prouty was the official 'Focal Point' Officer for the Air Force, and then the DoD, for contacts on matters pertaining to military support of special operations (secret activities). Prouty pulls no punches here, reporting what it really is and does. Based on public historical fact and his special un-'siloed' position, and without oath to the agency in particular, Prouty indicts the deceptive and manipulative actitities, both domestic and international. Under the iron will of Allen Dulles, the agency deftly and silently infiltrated: Cuba; Vietnam; Laos; Cambodia; Germany; Hungary; et al. Its sensors across the world gathered and acted in the name of 'anti-communism' and 'advisory personnel.' The agency's evolution and determination to survive self-sufficiently resulted in: 'The Secret Team;' a brain trust or think tank of military men, scientists, educators, business magnates, intellectuals, and economists. This trust has few or no limits. Most anything happened and usually did, including: running organizations without auspices; spying on the American government; infiltrating the military and police of allies; in-and-out tactics within communist areas; super-snooper tech, and more. Prouty was a pilot in WWII and as of 1973 had spent a decade serving as the Focal Point Officer in the Pentagon. All agency military activities were channeled through him and he was exempt from an oath of secrecy. This was a unique and privileged position and Prouty had far more knowledge than nearly all within the agency. With this position, he sought to clarify the true meaning, purpose and actions for the American people; and also correct some prior published misinformation and clarify past questionable events." Includes bibliography and thorough, detailed dozen page index. Printed in the United States of America. 496 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
