About this audiobook
The Declassified Files: CIA Black Operations uncovers six of the most controversial covert missions in U.S. intelligence history. Drawing on declassified CIA documents, the Church Committee hearings, Freedom of Information Act releases, and official government records, this volume examines Operation PBSUCCESS in Guatemala, CIA assassination plots, the Phoenix Program in Vietnam, the covert campaign against Chile's Salvador Allende, the Iran-Contra affair, and the congressional investigations that reshaped intelligence oversight. Written in the documentary, evidence-first style of The Declassified Files series, it separates documented fact from speculation, revealing how covert operations influenced Cold War politics and global events. Perfect for readers interested in CIA history, covert operations, Cold War history, intelligence agencies, declassified documents, espionage, secret missions, and U.S. foreign policy.
