RT Book T1 The CIA as organized crime: how illegal operations corrupt America and the world A1 Valentine, Douglas 1949- LA English PP Atlanta, GA PB Clarity Press, Inc. YR 2017 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/870010425 AB "This book provides a cross-section of Douglas Valentine's investigations into CIA engagement in terrorism, drugs, and propaganda. Author of three books on CIA operations, Valentine's research into CIA activities began when CIA Director William Colby gave him free access to interview CIA officials who had been involved in various aspects of the Phoenix program in South Vietnam. It was a permission Colby was to regret. The CIA would rescind it, making every effort to impede publication of The Phoenix Program, which documented the CIA's elaborate system of population surveillance, control, entrapment, imprisonment, torture and assassination in Vietnam."--Publisher description NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN JK486.I6 SN 9780997287011 SN 0997287012 K1 United States : Central Intelligence Agency : Corrupt practices K1 United States / Central Intelligence Agency : Corrupt practices K1 Phoenix Program (Counterinsurgency program : Vietnam) K1 Political Science : Security (National & International) K1 Organized Crime K1 Drug traffic K1 USA : Central Intelligence Agency : Phoenix program : Politisches Delikt : Organisiertes Verbrechen : Drogenhandel
