Books like The Secret Team by L. Fletcher Prouty


In *The Secret Team*, former CIA officer L. Fletcher Prouty offers a sweeping indictment of Cold War U.S. intelligence operations. He argues that the CIA orchestrated the 1960 U‑2 Incident to derail Eisenhower‑Khrushchev talks, that President Kennedy’s death was to maintain U.S. presence in Vietnam, and that elite agents effectively control national and global policy. The book, originally published in the 1970s, was reportedly suppressed until recent reissues, and has influenced later works on governmental conspiracies, including Oliver Stone’s film *JFK*.
