The authors have relied on
what historians might rather
-charitably call secondary and
:..tertiary material: they have.
interpreted interpretations of
what may or may not be in-
terpretations of basic, docu-
mentary material.
And they have done this
without much evaluation. Ross
and Wise accept the state-
ments of Presidents, diplo-
, mats, spies, bureaucrats,
i exiles and journalists all at
the same Impartial weight.
Undoubtedly much of "The
Invisible Government" Is valid
and undoubtedly some of It Is
inot. The lack of documenta-
l tion and attribution makes it
exceedingly difficult to decide
ywhich is what and destroys
whatever value the book may
have,
k Wise. and Ross describe
for us the thoughts of a Cuban
exile pilot as he flew from a
CIA base in' Central America
to bomb Cuba before the Bay
of Pigs.
A greater mystery,than the
CIA is how Vise and Ross
,came to know what was on
the pilot's mind. This may
have been a greater coup than
any of the CIA's.
A second, although not as
fatal flaw is the authors' con.
tention that an unspecified
something is wrong with our
intelligence agencies. . .
This something does, not
seem to be their failures,
although these do anger Wise t
and Ross. It seems to be the
simple existence of these
agencies.. '
R
WISE AND
U.S S hint
rather coyly that. something
horrid Is going on, but rarely
do they state even withhoutl
documentation just what Is %,
horrid-either In quality on
quantity.
They leave us with the im-
pression
that the CIA and the
other agencies are beyond thef
control of Presidents; that they
are threatening the peace. of
the world and the , basis of
our republic, . . '
All of this makes "The' In-
visible Government" a sort of 1
semi-nonfictional -equivalent of
"Fail-Safe."
It is rather good hot weath-.,
er journalism, the sort of stuff?
the more , sensational . press'
runs.during the, slack months
of summer. This, Incidentally_
is exactly what one national
magazine has been doing with
chapters of "The Invisible;
Government."
