(7,529 posts)3. I would also recommend Trento's Secret History of the CIA
And Talbot's The Devil's Chessboard for a history of them. The Dulles brothers were enablers of the moneyed elite crowd and in so doing led to the deaths of millions across the world. When Eisenhower warned about the military industrial complex, he was also referring to them but not by name. We are still paying for their legacy of evil.
