Book Synopsis La CIA en México by : Manuel Buendía
Download or read book La CIA en México written by Manuel Buendía and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parece no haber dudas entre los analistas de que una parte de la garra de la CIA reposa precisamente en México. Aunque no existen datos precisos al respecto, la paciente labor de numerosos investigadores - muchos de ellos iniciados en su trabajo a raíz del despertar que trajo consigo el terrible episodio de Vietnam - permite componer un cuadro aproximado de las actividades de la CIA, una de las dos mas poderosas y mejor organizadas instituciones de espionaje - la otra seria la KGB. Y en ese cuadro, en cuyas pinceladas se ven intervenciones, golpes de estado, secuestros, asesinatos, subversión generalizada y una mirada de agencias y organismos menores al servicio de la CIA, desde periódicos hasta agrupaciones "religiosas", destaca claramente un rasgo: la mayor estación de la CIA fuera de Estados Unidos esta en México. Si. No es Teheran, Tokio, Moscu, Taipei o Viena donde se concentran las energías de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia. Es en nuestro propio país. Pero curiosamente es aquí, quizás, en donde menor ha sido el esfuerzo para poner al descubierto las actividades de esa fauna siniestra - con la excepción notable de Manuel Buendia. Instalado en el ejercicio de un periodismo profundo y documentado, Buendia ha dedicado una buena parte de su actividad profesional al agrupamiento paciente de datos e informaciones - que muchas veces por si solos no significan nada - sobre la agencia e inteligentemente hilvanados le han permitido exponer ante la opinión publica la identidad no solo de numerosos agentes del espionaje norteamericano aquí, sino incluso la de llamados "jefes de estación" de la CIA - hazana que muy pocos de los estudiosos de esa organización podrían reclamar para si.

Book excerpt: Las revelaciones del New York Times y de la revista Ramparts acerca de la CIA tuvieron la virtud de conmover al mundo entero. Jamás se había tenido, hasta ese momento, pruebas tan cabales e irrefutables acerca de los métodos, logros y pifias del espionaje estadounidense, así como del inmenso poder de ese organismo semiclandestino del Gobierno de Estados Unidos, cuya influencia llegó hasta el extremo de derrocar a gobernantes de América Latina, Asia y África, o sostenerlos en el poder cuando así lo consideró indispensable para los objetivos de la diplomacia norteamericana.
Download or read book Oswald and the CIA written by John Newman and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 933 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of JFK and Vietnam comes a book that uncovers the government's role in the Kennedy assassination more clearly than any previous inquiry. What was the extent of the CIA's involvement with Lee Harvey Oswald? Why was Oswald's file tampered with before the assassination of John F. Kennedy? And why did significant documents from that file mysteriously disappear? Oswald and the CIA answers these questions, not with theories, but with information from the primary sources themselves—ex-agents, officials, and secret records. To look at the Oswald file is to look at the most sensitive CIA operation of the Cold War. The story is as alarming as it is tragic; the lies and manipulations it reveals led directly to Kennedy's murder. Oswald and the CIA is a gripping journey to the darkest corners of the CIA.

Book Synopsis Eternal Vigilance? by : Christopher Andrew
Download or read book Eternal Vigilance? written by Christopher Andrew and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eternal Vigilance? seeks to offer reinterpretations of some of the major established themes in CIA history such as its origins, foundations, its treatment of the Soviet threat, the Iranian revolution and the accountability of the agency. The book also opens new areas of research such as foreign liaison, relations with the scientific community, use of scientific and technical research and economic intelligence. The articles are both by well-known scholars in the field and young researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. Contributors come almost equally from both sides of the Atlantic. All draw, to varying degrees, on recently declassified documents and newly-available archives and, as the final chapter seeks to show, all point the way to future research.

Book Synopsis The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception by : H. Keith Melton
Download or read book The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception written by H. Keith Melton and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write two manuals on sleight of hand and undercover communication techniques. In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among them—until a single surviving copy of each, complete with illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's archives. The manuals reprinted in this work represent the only known complete copy of Mulholland's instructions for CIA officers on the magician's art of deception and secret communications.

Download or read book Dark Alliance written by Gary Webb and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Motion Picture based on Dark Alliance and starring Jeremy Renner, "Kill the Messenger," to be be released in Fall 2014 In August 1996, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb stunned the world with a series of articles in the San Jose Mercury News reporting the results of his year-long investigation into the roots of the crack cocaine epidemic in America, specifically in Los Angeles. The series, titled “Dark Alliance,” revealed that for the better part of a decade, a Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to Los Angeles street gangs and funneled millions in drug profits to the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras. Gary Webb pushed his investigation even further in his book, Dark Alliance: The CIA, The Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion. Drawing from then newly declassified documents, undercover DEA audio and videotapes that had never been publicly released, federal court testimony, and interviews, Webb demonstrates how our government knowingly allowed massive amounts of drugs and money to change hands at the expense of our communities. Webb’s own stranger-than-fiction experience is also woven into the book. His excoriation by the media—not because of any wrongdoing on his part, but by an insidious process of innuendo and suggestion that in effect blamed Webb for the implications of the story—had been all but predicted. Webb was warned off doing a CIA expose by a former Associated Press journalist who lost his job when, years before, he had stumbled onto the germ of the “Dark Alliance” story. And though Internal investigations by both the CIA and the Justice Department eventually vindicated Webb, he had by then been pushed out of the Mercury News and gone to work for the California State Legislature Task Force on Government Oversight. He died in 2004.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading Though it might be hard to believe, the Americans did not have a covert operations organization when they joined World War II, and like the British, it took them some time to realize it could be a powerful tool. As a result, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was not established until June 13, 1942, six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Voices within the Pentagon, State Department, and White House all opposed the establishment of this new and untested organization that would carry out activities normally considered unacceptable, so officials within the OSS had to fight for the very existence of the organization, battling through layers of bureaucracy to get the resources he needed and ensure its independence of action. They also worked hard to justify the use of covert tactics in warfare. In time, all the hard work led to the growth of the OSS into an organization with over 13,000 staff and 40 offices scattered across the world. Its purposes were initially similar to that of Britain's Special Operations Executive, including espionage, sabotage, and intelligence assessments, but with time and experience, it expanded to include economic, psychological, and guerrilla warfare, as well as counter-intelligence work. And of course, it would all chart a path for the early days of America's most famous intelligence agency, the CIA. The 28-year period from 1933-1961, bracketed on one end by Hitler's rise to power in Germany and on the other by the very height of the Cold War, was marked by a remarkably stable succession of American presidents. In fact, only three men held office in this period, and that predictability led to a general stability among government agencies. The CIA had five different directors in its first 15 years, from 1946-1961, but nine different directors in the next 20, with four of those directors serving less than a year. Although plagued by its own share of problems in its early existence during World War II and the early Cold War years, the agency's early problems, smoothed over by a string of tenured presidents, paled in comparison to those it would face in the coming decades. The presidency became much more tumultuous and plagued by scandal and tragedy in the following decades. Beginning with Kennedy, the country had five presidents in the span of less than 20 years, and none of them completed two full terms, so it is perhaps not surprising that the CIA felt its way through its own tough days during this period. To place the agency's blame for its own very real mistakes at the feet of the ever-churning office of the presidency is not entirely fair, because in many cases the CIA made its own bed and was forced to lie in it, but the continuously changing executive landscape and the subsequent jerky and often haphazard changes of directions certainly played a part in the agency's troubles of this period. Through the 1980s and 1990s, presidential terms regained a measure of predictability, but the agency continued to struggle through the traps it had set for itself in the prior decades while trying to find its place in the new world of computers, 24 hour news coverage, and the sheer avalanche of information that came with technological advancements. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it appeared the CIA might no longer have an adversary formidable enough to keep the agency funded and staffed, but 9/11 ended that fairy tale and brought the CIA's next era into sharp focus. A war on terrorism replaced the Soviet Union as the spy service's primary foil, and the years following the 9/11 attacks were dire for the agency, but the misguided invasion of Iraq and persistent claims of detainee torture and murder sullied the spy agency's reputation right from the start of the 21st century.
Book Synopsis The FBI in Latin America by : Marc Becker
Download or read book The FBI in Latin America written by Marc Becker and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Second World War, the FDR administration placed the FBI in charge of political surveillance in Latin America. Through a program called the Special Intelligence Service (SIS), 700 agents were assigned to combat Nazi influence in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. The SIS’s mission, however, extended beyond countries with significant German populations or Nazi spy rings. As evidence of the SIS’s overreach, forty-five agents were dispatched to Ecuador, a country without any German espionage networks. Furthermore, by 1943, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover shifted the SIS’s focus from Nazism to communism. Marc Becker interrogates a trove of FBI documents from its Ecuador mission to uncover the history and purpose of the SIS’s intervention in Latin America and for the light they shed on leftist organizing efforts in Latin America. Ultimately, the FBI’s activities reveal the sustained nature of US imperial ambitions in the Americas.
