Books like Agents of repression by Ward Churchill

In the aftermath of 9/11, a covert U.S. bargain with Saudi Arabia turns perilous when the king’s nephew funds ISIS. President Obama turns to intelligence operative Mitch Rapp to send a warning—solo—before the deal unravel.

Henry Crumpton, a former CIA counterterrorism officer, recounts his covert operations against al Qaeda and the Taliban, detailing the agency’s strategic shift in the Afghanistan war and its impact on U.S. national security.

“[The United States’ goal in Angola] was not to keep out the Cubans and Soviets but to make their imperial efforts as costly as possible and to prove that, after Vietnam. we were still capable of response, however insane. It is this story that has been told, and in impressive and convincing detail, by John Stockweli, the former chief of the CIA’s Angola task force.’ His hook should not he missed. Since strategic thought survives by ignoring experience, it has a highly professional interest in avoiding accounts such as this. By the same token, all who are alarmed about the tendency toward such strategic thinking should strongly welcome Mr. Stockwell’s book.” —John Kenneth Gaibraith. New York Review of Books In Search of Enemies is much more than the story of the only war to be found when the CIA sought to recoup its prestige after the Vietnam debacle. Though no American troops were committed to Angola, only “advisors,” many millions were spent, many thousands died, and many lies were told to the American people, in waging a war without purpose to American vital interests and without hope of victory. In Search of Enemies is unique in its wealth of detail about CIA operations and convincing in its argument that the clandestine services of the CIA should be abolished. John Stockwell, who lived in Africa for ten of his early years, is a graduate of the University of Texas and an alumnus of the U.S. Marine Corps. After twelve years as a CIA officer, he resigned from the agency on April I. 1977

Recounts the fifty year espionage campaign waged by intelligence agencies against famed American writers.

>The lawlessness wreaked on The Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement by agencies of the U.S. government - the murders, assaults, spying, frame-ups and the illegal imprisonments of innocent people should never be forgotten. *Agents of Repression* and *The COINTELPRO Papers* ensure that the memory of this troubled period is recorded with accuracy and the rigorous detail it deserves. The Black Classic Press editions of these two important works contain a new introductory retrospective by author Ward Churchill detailing the history of both books and significant related events that have occurred since their original publication.

>This first thoroughly documented report on the crimes of the U.S. intelligence agencies makes chilling reading, even for people who have followed in the news media the day-to-day revelations of misdeeds and cover-ups. Increasingly, these agencies have perverted their original mission to preserve national security, directing their efforts in some cases against law-abiding American citizens. Their dubious activities range from character assassination at home to plotting political murders abroad, from illegal wiretapping to out-and-out burglary. > >In addition to detailing the history and methods of such agencies as the CIA, the FBI, and NSA, *The Lawless State* shows how the IRS and even the grand-jury system have been manipulated for political ends. And although the intelligence agencies now keep a low profile because of adverse publicity, the authors are convinced that an effective means of Congressional control has yet to be found. Until a workable plan of accountability to law is instituted, they say, the threat of a police state will remain with us. - back cover
