The Shadow War America Never Discusses
What if I told you that America has been conducting secret assassinations for decades, with presidential approval? Annie Jacobsen's "Surprise, Kill, Vanish" exposes the CIA's paramilitary operations-the "third option" presidents choose when diplomacy fails but full-scale war seems excessive. This meticulously researched book reveals how America evolved from a nation that officially banned assassination to one that normalized "targeted killing" as standard policy. The implications are profound: have we crossed a moral line? And what happens when the tactics we perfect are eventually turned against us?
