| Summary, Etc. |
"For nearly a decade, U.S. diplomats, spies, and soldiers around the world have reported sudden, devastating neurological injuries--symptoms eerily consistent with exposure to a directed energy weapon. Victims were told their illnesses were "psychosomatic." Government agencies dismissed the evidence. And the CIA insisted no adversary was behind it. As the cases grew, from Havana to Hanoi, the media dubbed the phenomenon "the Havana Syndrome." In this groundbreaking expose, 60 Minutes producers Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados reveal the hidden history of the so-called Havana Syndrome: from early attacks in Cuba and China, to the spread across global hotspots from Tbilisi to Vienna, to the mounting evidence implicating an elite Russian "kill" unit. Drawing on more than nine years of reporting, including secret medical records, whistleblower testimony, and intelligence reports, they expose not only the technology behind the attacks but the U.S. government's effort to downplay and deny them. Combining the pace of a thriller and the authority of rigorous investigative journalism, this book brings readers inside the lives of officers like "Adam" and "Poly," whose careers and health were destroyed by the attacks, and Lt. Col. Greg Edgreen, the Pentagon investigator who risked everything to demand accountability. The Havana Syndrome is both a geopolitical saga with chilling consequences for national security and a deeply human story of betrayal and resilience.."--Publisher description.
