UNCLOAKING THE CIA
Edited by Howard Frazier. Free Press,'.
Macmillan, $12.95 ISBN 0-02-910590-0
,Based on a conference held at Yale
University, these accounts of the CIA
gone "rogue" make a clear, forceful,
no-punches-pulled case for dismantling
the CIA, or at least its covert opera-
tions. Although some of the book's rev-
elations have been aired in the journal-
istic media. there is enough new, ur-
gent material here to make this a
blockbuster. The contributors fall into
three main categories: former insiders,
such as Victor Marchetti, John D.
Marks, L. Fletcher Prouty; domestic
critics like Kirkpatrick Sale and Rep.
Michael J. Harrington (D., Mass.); and;
Third World figures. among them Sal-i
vador Allende's widow. Even liberal
and left-wing readers will be dismayed;
at the extent of CIA activities revealed
in these pages. Covered are William
Colby's Phoenix program. responsible
for over 49,000 killings in Vietnam; the
backing of Lon Nol's coup in Cam-
bodia; infiltration of U.S. universities:
and the development of mind-control
technology to deal with dissidents.
Some of the most eye-opening sections
examine CIA interference with the
AFL-CIO and penetration of foreien
trade unions. Comprehensive, com-
pact, well documented. (June]
