Deadly Deceits: My 25 years in the CIA
by Ralph W. McGehee
Ocean Press, 1999; ISBN 1-876175-19-2
From leftbooks.com:
Deadly Deceits is a classic account of the deeds and deceptions of the CIA by one of the Agency's most prized recruits.
Ralph McGehee spent 25 years in the CIA, from 1952-1977. He entered a super-patriot at the height of the Cold War; he left disillusioned and shattered by what he had seen and learned, especially in Vietnam where he saw a tragic and senseless war develop.
"One of the most outstanding books written by former CIA agents."— Alexander Cockburn and Jeffery St. Clair
"Deadly Deceits is essential reading for everyone who cares about freedom and dares to know what our CIA agents do in their name."
— Ramsey Clark
former U.S. Attorney General
