Review: The CIA's Greatest Hits
The CIA's Greatest Hits by Mark Zepezauer
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This is an easy to read fast overview of over 40 examples of the CIA's most heinous laundry. It goes from the OSS, pre-CIA days up to the Desert Storm era. There is plenty of bibliography to back up the rapid-fire, 2-page accounts of CIA-backed coups and such dirty tricks that were new to me as the U2 spy-plane incident done by the CIA to embarass Eisenhower and the Lockerbie Pan Am bombing a CIA ruse to kill key passengers before they could expose it.
