A Threat of the First Magnitude: FBI Counterintelligence & Infiltration From the Communist Party to the Revolutionary Union - 1962-1974 - Tapa blanda
Críticas
Aaron Leonard and Conor Gallagher's text reveals in graphic detail the extent that activists and citizens in the leftist movements of the Sixties and Seventies were manipulated by the FBI via informants they believed to be trusted friends. More importantly, it reveals how little the FBI cares about the individuals whose lives they ruin in the name of national security. A Threat of the First Magnitude is a riveting story of FBI lies and deceit. It is a fascinating history that is also a prescient warning. After reading this book, I can''t help but wonder how things might have turned out if the government's informants had never been members of the groups they helped destroy. --Ron Jacobs, author of The Way the Wind Blew: A History of the Weather Underground and Daydream Sunset: The 60s Counterculture in the 70s.
We already knew the FBI spied on ''political subversives''. Now Leonard and Gallagher turn a welcome spotlight on the informants who infiltrated deeply and likely illegally into radical political groups. --Scott Martelle, author of Blood Passion: The Ludlow Massacre and Class War in the American West and The Fear Within: Spies, Commies and American Democracy on Trial.
[...] an important book in shining a light on government repression and specifically the role of informants against the left.
-- Fightback!
[...] a first-rate history lesson in what the US power structure will do to those who threatened left wing revolution. At the same time, it is a warning to those who do so in the future. --Counterpunch
Reseña del editor
Sometime in the late fall/early winter of 1962, a document began circulating among members of the Communist Party USA based in the Chicago area, titled "Whither the Party of Lenin." It was signed "The Ad Hoc Committee for Scientific Socialist Line." This was not the work of factionally inclined CP comrades, but rather something springing from the counter-intelligence imagination of the FBI. A Threat of the First Magnitude tells the story of the FBI's fake Maoist organization and the informants they used to penetrate the highest levels of the Communist Party USA, the Black Panther Party, the Revolutionary Union and other groups labelled threats to the internal security of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. As once again the FBI is thrust into the spotlight of US politics, A Threat of a First Magnitude offers a view of the historic inner-workings of the Bureau's counterintelligence operations - from generating "fake news" and the utilization of "sensitive intelligence methods" to the handling of "reliable sources" - that matches or exceeds the sophistication of any contenders.
