Douglas Valentine

"As no other writer, Doug Valentine has been to the heart of darkness in American foreign policy and come back with stories of historic moment. His brilliant, courageous work is revelation, prophecy, wisdom. It will stand as a singular mark of our saving capacity to learn."
Roger Morris

"Pisces Moon is a great book, one of Doug Valentine's best." Peter Dale Scott, author of Deep Politics and the Death of JFK

Douglas Valentine is our most unflinching chronicler of the Central Intelligence Agency's bloody and sordid history. In this book, Valentine unfolds his vast and detailed knowledge of the Agency, and its twisted subculture, in the context of a first-person recollection of a long and surreal research trip through South East Asia. Filled with dingy bars, broken men, humid cities, and slabs of corrupt, covert, and violent history, the landscape comes alive; and the world of the Central Intelligence Agency emerges as even more deranged than you had recalled. Compelling yet tragic, Pisces Moon is compulsive reading." Dr. Christian Parenti, Associate Professor of Economics at John Jay College.
