INSIDE THE COMPANY: CIA DIARY

by Philip Agee (1979)

---

Agee served as a case officer with the Central Intelligence Agency from 1957 to 1969. Over the course of twelve years, Agee develops a clear understanding of what the Company actually does, and it is this knowledge that comes to change him from within. In this book he details his activities within the Company from initial recruitment and training to his overseas stationing in Quito and Montevideo. Overseas electoral influence and interference. Covert action. Political assassinations. Enforcers of a ruthless American capitalism. This is a revelatory tract whereby Agee boldly removes the public mask of KUBARK and describes it in fine detail which in turn is complemented with uncomplicated analysis. The forerunner to Covert Action Magazine (now website). Includes CIA organisation charts. Non-fiction. 617 pages.
