""The CIA is the most powerful secret police force in the world. Its hand has been seen in many incidents, sometimes with reason, sometimes more dubiously: the Bay of Pigs, the Greek coup, the death of Che Guevara, the fall of Allende and countless other incidents have been seen as evidence of the CIA's work. Philip Agee worked for the CIA for twelve years, in three different countries. He began by accepting the 'Company's' views and aims, but as time went by he came to see it as a bureaucracy designed not to help those in whose countries it works, but simply as an arm of American interests. He has spent the last three years writing a careful diary of his experiences. In doing so he describes the structure of the CIA, how it recruits, reveals a large number of international organizations founded by the CIA, names many agents and describes, with deadly accuracy, exactly what this vast, sleazy organization does. The picture that emerges is not glamorous; but it is convincing.""  * Good - Very Good Price: $59.00 (AUD) Book Number: 0216423  Bookseller: BookSplendour Postage Rates     Czechmate Brierley, David ISBN: 0002227266 Collins London 1984 First Edition *Small Octavo -.205mm (8") tall Binding - Hard Cover A clean, healthy, tightly bound hardback copy.
