Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, very good condition with no markings and very good DJ. 479 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Includes index. Bibliography: p. 451-466. An extremely disturbing expose which should be mandatory reading in US schools. It is based on interviews with the planning agents and analyzes the CIA-designed antiterrorist program used in Vietnam that led to the death, imprisonment, and torture of tens of thousands of innocent Vietnamese. One of Valentine's most astonishing accomplishments was persuading many former C.I.A. personnel to go on the record and discuss the program as well as their roles in it, often with frosty detachment, even pride. Rarely did anyone speak of his conduct with a hint of regret or remorse. Valentine interviewed 99 persons, most of them formerly with C.I.A., military intelligence, F.B.I., and other organizations involved with Phoenix in one phase or another. "I have described the intelligence services as a socially acceptable way of expressing criminal tendencies," Brickham said. "A guy who has strong criminal tendencies-but is too much of a coward to be one-would wind up in a place like the C.I.A. if he had the education. es but chose careers in C.I.A. rather than non-governmental organized crime. Among Phoenix's myriad "black operations" ("black ops") was "neutralizations," often conducted at midnight or later (murders by moonlight, so to speak) when the program's victims were at home and asleep. One psychological warfare tactic was to murder V.C. members, their families and neighbors in such a "hideous" fashion that the population would be terrorized into submission. These murders were often made to appear they had been committed by the V.C., themselves. Artikel-Nr. 001217

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. 479 pages. Glossary. Footnotes. Index. Black and white reproductions of photos. "Phoenix was the final solution to the problem posed by those Vietnamese civilians who supported the armed Vietcong insurgents. In the end, an estimated 40,000 Vietnamese were killed and countless atrocities were perpetrated in the name of 'neutralizing' the Vietcong 'infrastructure'. This work is nothing less than a meticulous historical narrative of Phoenix from its roots through its tragic conclusions, based upon four years of research and interviews with over one-hundred program participants." - dust jacket. "Outlines in careful detail how the CIA ran a computerized assassination and torture program in Vietnam, violating laws and especially human morality." - John Prados. In 2014 NYU media studies professor Mark Crispin Miller selected this as one of the top five books actively suppressed and hidden from Americans. - RT. Unmarked with light wear. Tight and square. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy. Artikel-Nr. 643h2836
