Its hand has been seen in many incidents, sometimes with reason, sometimes more dubiously: the Bay of Pigs, the Greek coup, the death of Che Guevara; the fall of Allende and countless other incidents--- Agee worked for the CIA for 12 years, in 3 different countries. He began by accepting the "Company's" views and aims, but as time went by he came to see it as a bureaucracy designed not to help---., but simply as an arm of American interests. In writing this diary he describes the structure of the CIA, how it recruits, reveals a large number of international organizations founded by the CIA, names many agents and describes with deadly accuracy, exactly what this vast, sleazy organization does. The picture that emerges is not glamourous, but it is convincing.:---, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo

Very Good
Text Cover
----------2 volumes, paperbacks, both are solid Very Good copies, spine crease on MUSHROOM but a nice copy, 349 pages, "A major breakthrough in our understanding of the origin & nature of the languages of the Bible has made possible the decipherment of the names of the Jewish God & the patriarchs, & now shows the religion of the Israelites & their inheritors, the Christians, to have been founded in a very ancient fertitlity cult centered on the worship of the sacred mushroom, the red topped Amanita Muscaria. After many years of studying the origins & roots of words common to the Sumerian & later Middle Eastern languages, John Allegro believes that many of the stories & characters, & much of the Old Testament must be examined afresh. Biblical stories, previously supposed at leat partly historical, now appear as mushroom myths, conforming to a pattern of such mythology throughout the Near East & classical writings. When, later, the mushroom cult became sophisticated into a mystery religion, involving drug taking & frenzied god possessed orgies with political overtones, it ran afoul of the authorities. To avoid persecution, its devotees transmitted their secret formulae in adaptations of the old mythologies, & it is to such cryptic devices we owe the Jesus stories of the New Testament. The Roman persecutors of the early Christians were probably not deceived by the tale of the crucifies Jewish rabbi, but the later church purged away disturbing reminders of its cultic origins in the cause of respectability, & thereafter preached an historical Jesus.", ----SCROLLS is a solid Very Good copy but there is a splash to the front cover so a Good copy, ----------paperback, a solid Good copy with splash marks to the front cover, 208 pages, b&w photos, a bit of age toning to paper, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo
