The Invisible Government of the USA. The CIA and Other Intelligence Agencies During the Cold War

American journalists David Wise and Thomas Ross reveal details of operations and activities of the invisible government of the Central Intelligence Agency of the USA during the Cold War based on extensive factual material. The authors note that the CIA also includes many other divisions and agencies, as well as individuals who outwardly appear to be ordinary members of a regular government. The book provides detailed information about the history of the creation of the US intelligence system, its structure, technical capabilities, and methods of operation. Subversive activities against Eastern European countries, the invasion of Cuba, predatory policies in Burma, Laos, Vietnam, and Guatemala are just a partial list of the accomplishments of American intelligence activities. Blackmail and provocations, espionage and sabotage, conspiracies and military adventures aimed at overthrowing unwanted governments are the methods through which intelligence seeks to strengthen the positions of the USA on the global stage.
