"Listen to this book, because it talks in a very clear way about what has been silenced." —John Berger, author of Ways of Seeing and winner of the Man Booker Prize

"Another odd episode steps out from the Cold War's shadows. Riveting."
--Kirkus, Starred Review

"The CIA's covert financial support of highbrow art & fiction may seem like a quaint, even endearing, chapter in its otherwise grim history of coups, assassinations, and torture. In Finks, Joel Whitney argues otherwise and shines a discomfiting spotlight on this obscure corner of the cultural Cold War. The result is both an illuminating read and a cautionary tale about the potential costs—political and artistic—of accommodating power."
—Ben Wizner, Director of Speech, Privacy & Technology Project, ACLU
