Museum of Hiram: Library: CIA Bibliography
The listing attached below is from a News posting I made in
1992. There is a 1991 version of this listing that periodically
circulates from the misc.activism.progressive news group.
This listing is slightly updated from that. I have not updated
this list since November 1992.
So after a year, I finally got around to updating my list of
intelligence/espionage related books. Last year's list was 51
titles, this year there are 75 titles listed. There are two lists here,
the first is ordered by author (most of the time.) A second abbreviated
list follows and is ordered by title. These are books related to
the intelligence world, the CIA, KGB, NSA, MI5, MI6, etc... I have
read a number of this books, certainly not all. The list is created
from the books I have on my bookshelves, so they are available to me
for reference. I don't have a lot of time to look things up, but I
might entertain a brief search once in a while for information.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or information
you may have on these books. I would be especially interested
in hearing about which ones are more works of disinformation by
the agencies rather than telling expose's.

2. Inside The Company - CIA Diary
Philip Agee
Bantam Books, Inc. Toronto, New York, London
Copyright (c) 1975
660 total pages, 618 pages text, 41 pages appendix
Agee's ground breaking book describing the day to day
activities of a CIA officer (Agee) in South America. Often
boring in the endless details of mundane activities of
propaganda excercises and political control of the governments
in the countries where Agee worked. As in Stockwell's case,
Agee was a 12 year veteran of CIA service, leaving the service
in 1969 thoroughly disillusioned with how he observed the CIA
working to destroy democracy. Agee pioneered the practice of
naming names in his one person attempt to attack the CIA. For
this he was of course labeled a traitor and hounded by the CIA
for almost a decade. (Described in his book "On the Run").
Recently, Agee has been able to legally enter the United
States and has joined the lecture circuit in the same manner
as Stockwell.

itself..."

Soviet espionage. Without covering up the facts or preaching
he tells how a Russian spy works, what he looks like, how he

Probing into the netherworld of narcotics, espionage, and
international terrorism. In so doing, Krueger uncovers the
alliances between the Mafia, right wing extremists,
neo-Fascist OAS veterans in France, and Miami-based Cuban
exiles. Concerns the story of Nixon's war on heroin and of
whether that war's elimination of the French Connection was
dictated by cance, by Mafia penetration of the White House and
the CIA, or by Nixon's desire to help old friends in Florida.

Jonathan Kwitny
Penguin Books - New York, London, Australia, Canada, New Zealand
Copyright (c) 1987
424 total pages, 400 pages text, notes in text, index
The collapse of the Nugan-Hand international bank in Australia
provides the opportunity to examine how the CIA handles its
international banking. From the records that were produced
during the court trials in Australia in the early eighties, a
most interesting story is laid out that shows the connection
of the CIA with international drug-trafficking and arms
dealing. Many characters from the so-called "Secret Team"
appear in the official record described here, Thomas CLines,
Theodore Shackley, General Richard V. Secord, Rafael "Chi-Chi"
Quintero, and others.

Jonathan Kwitny
Penguin Books - New York, London, Australia, Canada, New Zealand
Copyright (c) 1984
434 total pages, 419 pages text, 15 pages index
Kwitny clearly shows how American interventionist activities
abroad have consistently undermined our foreign policy goals.
Attempts by the government and by giant corporations to
manipulate the economies of developing nations, military and
political blunders in many parts of the world, and tremendous
(often inexplicable) expenditures of lives and money seem to
have succeeded only in driving Third World nations toward
corruption and communism. Thoroughly documented. The first
hardback edition is complete, later paperback editions have
Chapter 10 heavily censored concerning the CIA's involvement
in the coup in Iran 19 August, 1953, because of legal action
pending in federal court, Manhattan, alleging copyright
infringement (involving attributed quotations from an
unpublished source) and libel.

And yet another disillusioned CIA veteran with accounts of
how the CIA operates, concentrating on the bureaucratic structure.
Marchetti worked for the CIA for 14 years, rising to the
office of executive assistant ot the deputy director. By
Federal Court order, the authors were required to submit the
manuscript of the book to the CIA for review prior to
publication. Under the terms of the court ruling, the CIA
ordered the deletion of 339 passages of varying length.
Later, following demands to the CIA by legal counsel for the
authors - and the commencement of litigation by the publisher
and the authors against the CIA challenging the censorship
involved - all but 168 of these deletions were reinstated.
Later court cases cleared another 25 passages for publication.

A study of the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity in
the history of the past two decades. Covers the details of
CIA and extra-CIA operations including drug-trafficking,
gun-running, government-toppling, and assassination. The
authors argue that the Iran-Contra scandal is not merely a
plan gone awry, but a consistent outgrowth of a long tradition
of covert U.S. activities. From the Bay of Pigs invasion
teams to the NSC organizational team; from the CIA and the
World Anti-Communist League to the Israeli connection and
State Department.

A classic study of the connection between the CIA
and the world heroin trade. Includes an excellent
summary of the history of heroin and its connections
with the colonial powers of the middle east and
the far east. Introduces the connection between the CIA and
the Sicilian and Corscian Mafia. Follows the movement of the
heroin trade from the middle east to the far east during
France's Indochina war following WW II. Details the
complicity of our Vietnamese allies and their involvement in
the heroin trade of the 1960's, resulting in the heroin
epidemic in the U.S. towards the end of the 1960's. The CIA
attempted to prevent the publication of this book. Today it
is a rare book on the used book market, fetching as much as
$60 when a bookstore can find it. Can be found in libraries.
Highly recommended.

John Stockwell, former CIA agent, describes his involvement in
the Angola war of 1975-76. Stockwell was Chief of the CIA
Angola Task Force. He describes the incredible ineptness of
the CIA bureaucracy and its constant bungling of the Angola
situation. If most of the CIA covert wars are carried out
in the same manner as this mess, it is no wonder that they
always lose and leave corrupt murderous dictators in the
aftermath. After 12 years as a CIA officer, Stockwell
resigned from the Agency on April 1, 1977 and has since
continued to lecture on the problems that CIA activities cause
for U.S. foreign policy. The CIA successfully litigated
against Stockwell and continues to receive all royalities that
this book generates.
