Conversations with the Crow
On October 8th, 2000, Robert Trumbull Crowley, once a leader of the CIA's Clandestine Operations Division, died in a Washington hospital of heart failure and the end effects of Alzheimer's Disease.
Known as “The Crow” within the agency, Robert T. Crowley joined the CIA at its inception and spent his entire career in the Directorate of Plans, also know as the “Department of Dirty Tricks”.
Bob Crowley first contacted Gregory Douglas in 1993 when he found out that Douglas was about to publish his first book on Heinrich Mueller, the former head of the Gestapo who had become a secret, long-time asset to the CIA.
They began a series of long and often very informative telephone conversations that lasted for four years. Douglas became so entranced with some of the material that Crowley began to share with him that he secretly began to record their conversations, later transcribing them word for word, planning to incorporate some, or all of the material in later publications.
While CIA drug running , money-launderings and brutal assassinations are very often strongly rumored and suspected, it has so far not been possible to actually pin them down but it is more than possible that the publication of the transcribed and detailed Crowley-Douglas conversations will do a great deal towards accomplishing this.
The current management of the CIA considers the revelations of some many of the inner secrets of their agencies at this time, following the Snowden releases, is not in their interest.

Seriously interesting... a must read.
It compliments the other books written by Gregory Douglas. Mostly deadly serious, it contains many bullets of intense humour that made it a pleasure to read.
It covered the JFK assassination, and I am looking forward to reading a rare original copy of Regicide.
The SS John Harvey incident in Bari Italy was touched in small detail, and I would have been interested if there was a few more words about it.
Otherwise, a 'can't put it down' type of read.

An interesting book presented in very humours manner. Like the content and the way, it has been explained/shown. It is really very shocking how various agencies and people are doing if all this has been accepted to be true to its core.
I would like to say that people who are interested in reading political books should definitely go for this one and it is up to them what they decide after going through this book.

Dumbstruck !
Even if there is a slight chance of this being true then this truly would change the paradigms on which we perceive functioning of our governments ( especially in the past ) !
Sometimes ,especially in our country , with history being adulterated this book does give a peeping hole into our past !

This Author is hard to take seriously. Trying to find Any useful information about the man is rather hard. This leads to the obvious conclusion... The information presented in the book is fantasy. The fact that the publisher seems to be nonexistent tends to support this conclusion.
