Praise for Finks Another odd episode steps out from the Cold War's shadows. Riveting. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Listen to this book, because it talks in a very clear way about what has been silenced. --John Berger, author of Ways of Seeing and winner of the Man Booker Prize With Finks, Joel Whitney vividly brings to life the early days of the Cold War, when key American literary figures were willing to secretly do the bidding of the nation's spymasters. --James Risen, author of Pay Any Price: Greed, Power and Endless War A deep look at that scoundrel time when America's most sophisticated and enlightened literati eagerly collaborated with our growing national security state. Finks is a timely moral reckoning. --David Talbot, founder of Salon and author of The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America's Secret Government An illuminating read and a cautionary tale about the potential costs--political and artistic--of accommodating power.--Ben Wizner, ACLU Director of Speech, Privacy and Technology Project
