An untold Cold War story: how the CIA tried to infiltrate a radical group of U.S. military deserters. Stockholm, 1968. A thousand American deserters and draft-resisters are arriving to escape the war in Vietnam. They’re young, they’re radical, and they want to start a revolution - but the CIA is determined to stop all that. It’s a job for the deep-cover men of Operation Chaos and their allies―agents who know how to infiltrate organizations and destroy them from inside. Within months, the GIs have turned their fire on one another. Then the interrogations begin... When Matthew Sweet began investigating this story, he thought the madness was over. He was wrong. Instead, he became the confidant of an eccentric and traumatized group of survivors―each with his own theory about the traitors in their midst. All Sweet has to do is find out the truth. And stay sane. Which may be difficult when he finds himself deep in a labyrinth of truths and half-truths, wondering where reality ends and delusion begins. “A surprising, tragic, and, in many places, angry story of a country's paranoia inflicting itself upon its own citizens.” - Booklist "As humorously fascinating as it is deeply disturbing.” - Spectrum Culture
