John Stockwell
John Stockwell is a 13-year veteran of the CIA and a former U.S. Marine Corps
major. He was hired by the CIA in 1964, spent six years working for the CIA in
Africa, and was later transferred to Vietnam. In 1973 he received the CIA's
Medal of Merit, the Agency's second-highest award. In 1975, Stockwell was
promoted to the CIA's Chief of Station and National Security Council
coordinator, managing covert activities during the first years of Angola's
bloody civil war. After two years he resigned, determined to reveal the truth
about the agency's role in the Third World. Since that time, he has worked
tirelessly to expose the criminal activities of the CIA. He is the author of In
Search of Enemies, an exposé of the CIA's covert action in Angola.
Stockwell is a founding member of
Peaceways and ARDIS (the Association for Responsible Dissent), an organization
of former CIA and Government officials who are openly critical of the CIA's
activities. His latest book is entitled The Praetorian Guard: The U.S. Role in
the New World Order.
