In Search of Enemies

A CIA Story

By: John Stockwell

Narrated by: Tom West

In Search of Enemies is much more than the story of the only war to be found when the CIA sought to recoup its prestige after the Vietnam debacle. Though no American troops were committed to Angola, only “advisors,” many millions were spent, many thousands died, and many lies were told to the American people, in waging a war without purpose to American vital interests and without hope of victory.

History without theory

Excellent read for those interested in history and not theory. Stockwell writes intelligently, with a healthy moral compass, and a factual first hand account.

My Country Tis Of Thee, Sweet Land Of Liberty?

This book need to tbe listened to or read by every American. We are told that we must trust and believe in America, should we continually go blindly into that night? The US government has become more secretive than it has in the last half of the 20th century and call it national security. Have we finally lost our way and our soul in our effort to build a new world order? Many nations have tried this in the past and failed, from the Romans to the present must America learn the same leason? You want to be in charge you will pay the in charge price as all nations in the past have learned.

Fascinating and exciting read!

This is a great book. If you like Cold War era intrigue with a moral outlook, this is a fantastic book.

Essentially, an honest assessment

An honest assessment of a dishonest, often misanthropic culture… the human race. That the United States happens to be the current leader in this insane marathon to Armageddon makes it more interesting for this reader. Having lived long enough to have watched this plot unfold ( sometimes right around me) I recommend “Search for Enemies”.

CIA in Angola

I really enjoyed learning about the CIA involvement in Angola. Especially from the perspective of someone who was there.
