"Phoenix was the final solution to the problem posed by those Vietnamese civilians who supported the armed Vietcong insurgents. In the end, an estimated 40,000 Vietnamese were killed and countless atrocities were perpetrated in the name of 'neutralizing' the Vietcong 'infrastructure'. This work is nothing less than a meticulous historical narrative of Phoenix from its roots through its tragic conclusions, based upon four years of research and interviews with over one-hundred program participants." - dust jacket. "Outlines in careful detail how the CIA ran a computerized assassination and torture program in Vietnam, violating laws and especially human morality." - John Prados. In 2014 NYU media studies professor Mark Crispin Miller selected this as one of the top five books actively suppressed and hidden from Americans. - RT. Unmarked with light wear. Tight and square.
