CIA Covert Operations: From Carter to Obama, 1977-2010

This set represents the first part of what will be an even broader collection focused on covert operations of the Central Intelligence Agency throughout its history. This segment covers management and control of covert operations, as well as specific activities carried out during the Carter, Reagan, Bush (I), Clinton, Bush (II) and Obama presidencies. Containing 2,337 documents, the publication brings together declassified documents and other materials, including key congressional records (necessary for understanding the scope and context of CIA activities), to offer unprecedented detail on a vital but poorly represented aspect of United States foreign activity.
