An executive order signed by the President of the United States has
deemed the assassination of America's enemies illegal for twenty
years. Shortly after the order was signed, however, a CIA operation
to assassinate a religious leader killed over one hundred people in
a Beirut mosque. CIA director William Casey's "direct action" was
undertaken in strict secrecy-even from the highest levels of
government-as retaliation for the bombing of the U.S. embassy in
Beirut.
News of these direct actions has sporadically filtered out of the
Middle East for many years, but the intelligence agencies of all
the biggest players have always had plausible deniability and a
veil of secrecy. Now for the first time, authors Robin Moore and
Chuck Lightfoot have pieced together years of painstaking research
and interviews to create a thriller that may be based more on fact
than on fiction.
In React: CIA Black Ops, a composite character named "Nimrod"
relates his training in a mysterious section of the CIA's
stand-alone Covert Action section that was directed by "the
Council," a Star-Chamber organization that ignores the president's
executive orders and has no congressional oversight. The Council
gives Nimrod a target folder, an objective, and an order: to
assassinate those whom the Council deems to be America's worst
enemies. In chapter after exciting chapter, Nimrod describes the
perilous operations undertaken to preemptively rub out members of
terrorist cells, and gives a plausible explanation of how the
terrorists who planned the Lockerbie disaster and the Beirut Marine
Barracks bombing may have met their fate.
