Dirty Work : the Cia in Western Europe

Philip Agee, Louis Wolf

Abstract

For the past several years, beginning in 1974, new enemies have haunted the Central Intelligence Agency—ex-agents and journalists. These people, revolted by the CIA’s dirty tricks scenario, are bent on exposing them so the American citizenry can see what has been spawned and what is being done under the guise of “national security.” John Marks, Victor Marchetti, Morton H. Halperin and especially Philip Agee have shown considerable courage in telling the world about the seamy side of American espionage. They have opened much of the secret portfolio, ranging from the routine planting of phony news stories to assassinations and the overthrow of legitimate governments. In this book, a comprehensive picture of the CIA emerges. More important, the authors explain the simple way in which any competent researcher can recognize the people behind the dirty work—thus breaking the “cover” of thousands of CIA agents in the field around the world.
