<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><br> <i>The Secret Team</i>, L. Fletcher Prouty's CIA exposé, was first published in the 1970s, but virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Certainly Prouty's amazing allegations--that the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks, and that President Kennedy was assassinated to keep the U.S., and its defense budget, in Vietnam--cannot have pleased the CIA. Though suppressed (until now), <i>The Secret Team</i> was an important influence for Oliver Stone's Academy Award-winning film <i>JFK</i> and countless other works on U.S. government conspiracies, and it raises the same crucial question today that it did on its first appearance: who, in fact, is in control of the United States and the world? <p/>Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a <i>New York Times</i> bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Offers uncommonly penetrating insight....A rare glimpse into Covert and Black Operations.--<i>New York Times</i> Bestselling author, Governor Jesse Ventura, from his Foreword.</b> <p/><i>The Secret Team</i>, L. Fletcher Prouty's expose´ of the CIA's brutal methods of maintaining national security during the Cold War, was first published in the 1970s. However, virtually all copies of the book disappeared upon distribution, having been purchased en masse by shady "private buyers." Prouty's topics include: <br><ul><li>President Kennedy tried to control the CIA.</li><li>The nature of clandestine operations.</li><li>The Dulles-Jackson-Correa Report in action</li><li>Defense, containment, and anti-communism</li><li>Khrushchev's Challenge: the U-2 dilemma</li><li>From the Bay of Pigs to Dallas.</li><li>And much more!</li></ul><br>Prouty's allegations--such as how the U-2 Crisis of 1960 was fixed to sabotage Eisenhower-Khrushchev talk--cannot have pleased the CIA. <i>The Secret Team</i> appears once more with a new introduction by bestselling author, Governor Jesse Ventura. <p/>"Like it or not, we now live in a new age of 'One World.' This is the age of global companies, of global communications and transport, of global food supply and finance and . . . just around the corner . . . global accommodation of political systems. In this sense, there are no home markets, no isolated markets and no markets outside the global network. It is time to face the fact that true national sovereignty no longer exists. We live in a world of big business, big lawyers, big bankers, even bigger moneymen and big politicians. It is the world of The Secret Team."
