K"'+;""\ /v EwQ _ l*lgLT DIRTY WORK 'fhe CIA ln Western Europe Edi+ed by philip Agee and Louis Wolf For the past several years, beginning in 1974, new enemies have haunted the Central Intel_ ligence Agency-ex-agents and journalists. These people, revolted by the CIA's dirty tricks scenario, are bent on exposing them so the American citizenry can see what has been spawned and what is being done under the guise of "national security." John Marks, Victor Marchetti, Morton H. Halperin and especially philip Agee have shown considerable courage in telling the world about the seamy side of American espionage. They have opened much of the secret portfolio, rang_ ing from the routine planting of phony news stories to assassinations and the overthrow of legitimate governments. In this book, a comprehensive picture of the CIA emerges. More important, the authors explain the simple way in which any compe_ tent researcher can recognize the people behind the dirty work-thus breaking the icover', of thousands of CIA agents in the field around the world. NA'IAING NA'}IES Philip Agee, in particular, has always insisted that^one cannot separate the responsibility of the CIA for the outrageous thingi it does from the personal responsibility of the agents who do those things. He has led a three_vear cam_ paign to expose agents around the world. Now, for the first time, a balanced sampling of the research done by those who know, appears in (continued on back flap) DIRTY WORK The CIA in Western EuroPe DIRT'Y Csrnl hElltfreA8fi, ,/6.

" ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wouln LrKE To IHANK Steven Weissman, Phil Kelly, Karl Van Mcter, Angela Camargo Seixas, Ellen Ray and Chris Farley, by name, and all the other counterspies around the world who cannot bc named, for their invaluable assistance in bringing this book to completion. I want to express my gratitude to the courteous and hclpful staff of the National Archives in Washington and of the British Museum in London, who have helped make my research lcss tedious. And I would like particularly to thank Bill Schaap for hic cfforts and good judgement while working on the first half of tho book, as well as for his patience and good humor in abiding wlth me during the final days. I must also extend my deep appreciation to Lyle Stuart - a lrrget in his own right of the American intelligence establishment - for having the courage to publish this book. I give special $enks to Arthur Smith, our editor, without whose knowing coun- rcl and attention to detail the book couldn't have gotten success- fully past the manuscript stage. And most of all, I would like to exprpss for all of us our un- llinching admiration for Philip Agee, whose perseverance of pur- posc, whose integrity of research, and whose personal bravery hrve been an inspiration to us all.

But ever since the late llX0s and the Vietnam War, the CIA- indeed, the entire American govemment-has faced an even more dangerous threat. Several of the brightest agents have quit in disgust and, instead of defecting to the Soviets (which is the way the game is supposed to be played), they have told their secrets to the world, and especially to the American people. Daniel Ellsberg, a former U.S. Defense Department official, openly published The Pentagon Papers. Victor Marchetti, a top aide to the CIA's Deputy Director, joined with former State Department intelligence officer John Marks, to write The CIA and the Cuk of Intelligence. Philip Agee wrote his Inside the Company: A CIA Diary.John Stockwell sent his open letter to Stansfield Turner and authored a book, ln Search of Enemies; t3
