Bramhall summarizes the information regarding CIA activities to limit dissent in the US and Europe contained in a book entitled Who Paid the Piper: The Cultural Cold War1 by Frances Stoner Saunders published in 1999. Coincidentally I mentioned in yesterday's post, which dealt with a recent CIA-connected journalist, a book I read several years ago entitled The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America (2008) by Hugh Wilford that also covered the same subject and roughly the same period of time.
This raises the question in my mind as to why they both ended their histories when they did when both books were written decades later. Were both authors suggesting that such practices ended then? Or, could it be that more recent material is too risky to write about?
