Cointelpro : the FBI's secret war on political freedom / edited by Cathy Perkus ; introduction by Noam Chomsky.

• "Prevent these people from getting elected" -- Inciting violence : "it should be an interesting experience for Mr. Halstead" -- Targeting a black candidate : "determine if there is anything derogatory in his background" -- A special hatred for blacks -- "Drive a wedge between the followers of Malcolm X and the SWP" -- "Cause disruption in the peace of movement" -- Red-baiting -- Firing teachers : "the children and the country deserve to be protected" -- The fight to stop Cointelpro goes before the public. 

• Describes the decades-long covert counterintelligence program code-named Cointelpro directed against socialists and activists in the Black and anti-Vietnam War movements. The operations revealed in the documents cited in this book many of them photographically reproduced provide an unprecedented look at the methods used by the FBI, CIA, military intelligence, and other U.S. police agencies. Despite their authors intentions, these documents also record pieces of the history of efforts to build the communist movement in the United States
