CIA as Organized Crime by Valentine.

He was given free access to "ex" CIA agents by Wm Colby. He also wrote a book about the CIA's Phoenix Program in Vietnam which was an extra-judicial murder and torture program that coordinated the military, police and intelligence agencies. This book is about how it was rolled out world wide including Fusion Centers in the USA which allow police agencies to receive illegal intelligence information so that they can build a case "legally".

Secret Team by Fletcher Prouty

He was a military logistics officer for CIA traffic. He realized that even back then the CIA under Dulles had expanded beyond its legal scope and insinuated itself into the entire US govt and other organizations and was involved in the JFK coup d'etat. Accordingly the CIA ws beyond the control of the govt; instead was controlled by the Secret Team.

Fully recommend this book. Very interesting portrayal of Dulles, and a great read, it flows really well for non-fiction.

You just reminded me I bought this book a couple of years back but still haven't read it. Not surprising if you saw my book depository

An important book along with Manufacturing Consent, both shatter the veil of American democracy and expose the evil among us. “the barbarians are not at the gate, they are inside the gates, they have academic tenure, judicial appointments, government grants, and control of the movies, TV and other media.” Thomas Sowell.

He didn't kill JFK, and he didn't control Oswald.

That book sounds great! We grew up believing Dulles was a good guy! Boy, were we misled!
