the Spy With Poison Vials: William Harvey and CIA's Assassination Program

The CIA once built an assassination capability designed to eliminate foreign leaders in secret. During the Cold War, covert action became one of the most powerful tools of American intelligence, and inside the CIA officers developed clandestine programs focused on sabotage, regime destabilization, and targeted assassination operations. One of the central figures in that system was William Harvey, a hard driving CIA officer who helped shape some of the most controversial covert programs of the era. The Spy With the Poison Vials explores the hidden world of CIA covert operations, secret assassination plots, Cold War intelligence, Fidel Castro targeting efforts, and the clandestine infrastructure behind American covert warfare. Blending spy history, intelligence history, and Cold War covert action, this book reveals how CIA assassination programs and sabotage operations were built inside the U.S. intelligence system.
