Since 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency has secretly worked to
subvert foreign
powers and even overthrow enemy governments to further United
States influence abroad. The vast array of CIA black "ops"
(operations)--including covert acts against Saddam Hussein and
international terrorists, secret Afghan missions, the overthrow of
Guatemalan leaders, assassination plots against Castro and others,
domestic and foreign narcotics conspiracies, underground Mafia
relations, and even controversial plans to dupe top U.S.
officials-has stretched its influence far beyond its original
purpose.
A member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, Dr.
John Jacob Nutter reveals that the U.S. has become too enamored
with covert action; that black ops have become U.S. foreign policy;
and that the CIA has developed into a policy maker, dangerously
independent of the government that created it. Nutter explains the
many and varied types of covert action-subsidies, graymail,
propaganda, psychological and economic warfare, military support,
paramilitary operations, coups d'etat, and assassinations-and
provides detailed examples of success and failure undertaken in the
name of "national security."
Unusual and exclusive, The CIA's Black Ops is a courageous and
unprecedented declassification of foreign exploits and domestic
secrets, covering clandestine activities from the birth of special
operations to today's underground actions--many operations so
covert that government officials don't know (or don't want to know)
they are taking place.
A well-recognized expert on terrorism and covert operations, John
Jacob Nutter is a historical researcher and former assistant
professor at Michigan State University, specializing in covert
action, international politics, and guerrilla warfare. He has
appeared on numerous news programs including National Public Radio
and CNN.
