Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1973. Fine/Very Good+. Signed by Prouty on the title page. First edition, third printing. xvi, 496 pp. Orange cloth with black lettering.

The former Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under JFK wrote this cult classic expose of the CIA's influence. He would later become well-known as a critic of the official story of Kennedy's assassination, inspiring the character "Mr. X" (played by Donald Sutherland) in Oliver Stone's film JFK.
