Book Synopsis The Jakarta Method by : Vincent Bevins
Download or read book The Jakarta Method written by Vincent Bevins and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2020 BY NPR, THE FINANCIAL TIMES, AND GQ The hidden story of the wanton slaughter -- in Indonesia, Latin America, and around the world -- backed by the United States. In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it's been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War.
Book Synopsis The Deadly Snow by : George Brandsberg
Download or read book The Deadly Snow written by George Brandsberg and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DEADLY SNOW, a Wyoming Ranch Family's Cold War Memoir.THE FRIGHTENING STORY of Preston and Laura Mitchell and their family in rural northeast Wyoming began with a snowstorm in April, 1959, that mysteriously killed 100 ewes and 300 newborn lambs and soon sickened the entire family. The Mitchells consulted local, state and federal veterinarians, to determine the cause. Meanwhile, the Mitchells and their six sons and daughters suffered from headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, lethargy and bloody stools as they struggled to care for their dying flock of sheep. Later, they found hundreds of fish had perished in their farm pond, dozens of deer carcasses littered their pastures and squirrels and mice turned up dead in unexpected places. Less than a month after the storm, two men claiming to be rock hounds showed up at the Mitchell's remote ranch, asked many questions about their animals and family members and finally urged them to get their listless baby daughter to a doctor. Before long, another federal veterinary team arrived, that they were going to treat their sheep. They, too, asked questions for hours, but gave no answers about themselves. In fact, the visitors warned the Mitchells not to talk publicly about their health problems and assured them that they would never receive any compensation for their losses. Two years later, Dr. Alan Tench, a veterinarian from England, suggested that the Mitchells sue the federal government "for what they have done to you.". In early 1961, they filed a lawsuit for nearly $1 million in damages they claimed were caused by exposure to radiation poisoning as a result of government negligence. In response, government lawyers deposed the family's physicians, mocking their lack of knowledge of radiation poisoning. In early September, shadowed by armed men in dark suits, the Mitchell parents and their two oldest daughters were taken to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, for intensive physical exams. In their reports, the doctors said they found no evidence of radiation poisoning. However, as one of the physicians who escorted the four Mitchells out of the hospital on dismissal, told Preston they had indeed been exposed to radioactive materials. In December, 1961, the federal court in Cheyenne, Wyoming, declared the Mitchells had failed to make their case and rejected it. Government authorities attributed the malady of the sheep to photosensitization (intense exposure to sunlight), possible consumption of selenium, a heavy metal found in the soil on the ranch, or poisonous weeds. They offered no explanation for the suffering the Mitchell family members endured.
Book Synopsis The Spy in Moscow Station by : Eric Haseltine
Download or read book The Spy in Moscow Station written by Eric Haseltine and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling, true story of the race to find a leak in the United States Embassy in Moscow—before more American assets are rounded up and killed. Foreword by Gen. Michael V. Hayden (Retd.), Former Director of NSA & CIA In the late 1970s, the National Security Agency still did not officially exist—those in the know referred to it dryly as the No Such Agency. So why, when NSA engineer Charles Gandy filed for a visa to visit Moscow, did the Russian Foreign Ministry assert with confidence that he was a spy? Outsmarting honey traps and encroaching deep enough into enemy territory to perform complicated technical investigations, Gandy accomplished his mission in Russia, but discovered more than State and CIA wanted him to know. Eric Haseltine's The Spy in Moscow Station tells of a time when—much like today—Russian spycraft had proven itself far beyond the best technology the U.S. had to offer. The perils of American arrogance mixed with bureaucratic infighting left the country unspeakably vulnerable to ultra-sophisticated Russian electronic surveillance and espionage. This is the true story of unorthodox, underdog intelligence officers who fought an uphill battle against their own government to prove that the KGB had pulled off the most devastating penetration of U.S. national security in history. If you think "The Americans" isn't riveting enough, you'll love this toe-curling nonfiction thriller.

With no means of communication, few supplies, and ravenous grizzly bears and wolves lurking in the shadows, Cutter has to battle the unforgiving elements while the killer wants his head on a stick.

Book Synopsis Checkpoint Charlie by : Iain MacGregor
Download or read book Checkpoint Charlie written by Iain MacGregor and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “constantly captivating…well-researched and often moving” (The Wall Street Journal) history of Checkpoint Charlie, the famous military gate on the border of East and West Berlin where the United States confronted the USSR during the Cold War. In the early 1960s, East Germany committed a billion dollars to the creation of the Berlin Wall, an eleven-foot-high barrier that consisted of seventy-nine miles of fencing, 300 watchtowers, 250 guard dog runs, twenty bunkers, and was operated around the clock by guards who shot to kill. Over the next twenty-eight years, at least five thousand people attempt to smash through it, swim across it, tunnel under it, or fly over it. In 1989, the East German leadership buckled in the face of a civil revolt that culminated in half a million East Berliners demanding an end to the ban on free movement. The world’s media flocked to capture the moment which, perhaps more than any other, signaled the end of the Cold War. Checkpoint Charlie had been the epicenter of global conflict for nearly three decades. Now, “in capturing the essence of the old Cold War [MacGregor] may just have helped us to understand a bit more about the new one” (The Times, London)—the mistrust, oppression, paranoia, and fear that gripped the world throughout this period. Checkpoint Charlie is about the nerve-wracking confrontation between the West and USSR, highlighting such important global figures as Eisenhower, Stalin, JFK, Nikita Khrushchev, Mao Zedung, Nixon, Reagan, and other politicians of the period. He also includes never-before-heard interviews with the men who built and dismantled the Wall; children who crossed it; relatives and friends who lost loved ones trying to escape over it; military policemen and soldiers who guarded the checkpoints; CIA, MI6, and Stasi operatives who oversaw operations across its borders; politicians whose ambitions shaped it; journalists who recorded its story; and many more whose living memories contributed to the full story of Checkpoint Charlie.
Download or read book The Iceman written by Anthony Bruno and published by Dell. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, with Ray Liotta and Chris Evans He was smart, merciless, and deadly. And it took someone just as tough to bring him down. A mob contract killer known as “The Iceman” for hiding a body in an ice-cream truck freezer, Richard Kuklinski boasted a personal body count of more than a hundred victims. Using guns, knives, poison, ice picks, tire irons, baseball bats, and bombs, the family man from New Jersey killed for fun, for money, to cover up his own crimes, and to satisfy his inner rage. Law enforcement officials knew all about Kuklinski and had a list of his victims, but couldn’t get near him—until undercover agent Dominick Polifrone posed as a mobster and began a deadly game of cat and mouse. In this harrowing true-crime account, Anthony Bruno delves into the mind of a cold-blooded killer, chronicling the Iceman’s grisly crimes and probing the bizarre dynamics of Agent Polifrone’s dangerous liaison with him. For as Polifrone carefully built up a case against Kuklinksi, he knew he was running out of time—because the Iceman was planning to kill him too. “Bruno puts his writing talents to white-knuckle use with a tight focus on a killer with no human feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews “Excellent . . . [re-creates] the tension and stress Polifrone experienced in fulfilling his risky undercover assignment.”—Publishers Weekly
