From Covert to Overt

From Covert to Overt traces the Church Committee's landmark 1975-76 investigation - the first time anyone examined America's covert funding architecture as a single, connected pattern rather than six separate scandals - and follows its legacy to the 1983 creation of the National Endowment for Democracy, the most ambitious attempt yet to fund international political activity in the open.This is the volume where the series turns a corner. Every prior book asked how concealment worked and how it failed. This one asks a harder question: does transparency actually solve the underlying problem, or does it just give the same activity better paperwork? This book won't tell you the answer - because NED is still operating today, and reasonable people still disagree. It will give you everything you need to decide for yourself.Volume Seven of The Cover Funding Files.
