Look. This is a tough topic. And maybe this just isn’t a book that’s for me.
I was struck by the writer’s callous descriptions of terrible acts. Did I know going in that this was going to be a difficult read, yes. Did the tone of the book lead me to believe that the author has become numb to the atrocities, immensely so. I was incredibly disappointed in the way he talked about women especially.

Very interesting look at the darkness surrounding the CIA and bureaucracy in general. Makes me that much more distrustful of the government; although nothing shocks me. Further proof that most people in government and politics have personality disorders (i.e. Bugliosi).
A little dissatisfied with the end. I didn’t feel that Manson, Jack Ruby, and the LSD experiments were tied up in a neat bow; however, I think that’s the point. The author does mention the ambiguity. I don’t know that we will ever know and if we do find out, all guilty parties will be long gone that it won’t make a difference.
