The CIA's Greatest Hits
Description
The cover of "The CIA's Greatest Hits" by Mark Zepezauer, part of "The Real Story Series". The cover features a cartoon of a man in a trench coat, sunglasses, and fedora, carrying a briefcase and smoking a cigarette, while holding the Statue of Liberty at gunpoint. The Statue of Liberty is depicted as human-sized, and she has dropped her torch in fear. The colors featured most prominently on this cover are mustard yellow along the top, magenta on the bottom half, and black along the left side.
The synopsis of the book reads as follows, "In crisply written, two-page chapters, each accompanied by a cartoon, this book tells you how the CIA
hired top Nazi war criminals, shielded them from justice and learned (and used) their techniques
was involved in the massacre at Jonestown, the bombing of Pan AM flight 103, Watergate, Iran/Contra, the Bay of Pigs, rigged elections in Italy and drug trafficking in Afghanistan and across the globe
participated in the assassinations of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, many foreign politicians and literally million of ordinary people in Indonesia, East Timor, Central America, Vietnam and many other places
orchestrates the media - one CIA officer like to call it "the mighty Wurlitzer" - and places its agents inside newspapers, magazines and book publishers
and much, much more"
