Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World

Secret Team: The CIA and Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World by Prouty, L. Fletcher. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781602392298.

The Secret Team, L. Fletcher Proutys CIA exposé, was first published in the 1970s, but virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Certainly Proutys amazing allegations—that the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks, and that President Kennedy was assassinated to keep the U.S., and its defense budget, in Vietnam—cannot have pleased the CIA. Though suppressed (until now), The Secret Team was an important influence for Oliver Stones Academy Award-winning film JFK and countless other works on U.S. government conspiracies, and it raises the same crucial question today that it did on its first appearance: who, in fact, is in control of the United States and the world?
