Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1975, Senator Frank Church convened a select committee that would produce the most comprehensive public examination of American intelligence agencies ever undertaken. What investigators found shocked even seasoned legislators: assassination plots…against foreign leaders, mass domestic surveillance of civil rights activists and journalists, infiltration of political organizations, and covert operations conducted entirely outside congressional knowledge or legal authorization.This book reconstructs the Church Committee's two-year investigation through hearing transcripts, declassified committee reports, witness testimony, and the personal accounts of investigators and intelligence officials who testified. It traces how the CIA, FBI, and NSA had accumulated extraordinary covert power across three decades-operating in institutional spaces deliberately insulated from democratic accountability-and how a single congressional investigation forced those operations into public view.The narrative examines what the committee achieved and where it fell short: the reforms it produced, the intelligence community's resistance, and the gradual erosion of oversight mechanisms in the decades that followed. It situates the Church Committee within the broader post-Watergate reckoning with executive power, asking what democratic accountability of intelligence agencies actually requires and whether the institutional reforms of 1976 proved durable.A document-grounded account of the moment Congress looked directly at the architecture of covert state power-and what it chose to do with what it found.
