Description

The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Proutys expose of the CIAs brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War, was first published in the 1970s. However, virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, having been purchased en masse by shady private buyers. Certainly, Proutys allegationssuch as how the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage EisenhowerKhrushchev talkcannot have pleased the CIA. The Secret Team appears once more with a new introduction by Jesse Ventura.
