"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 ""It may be difficult today to believe that the American intellectual elite was once deeply embedded with the CIA. But with Finks, Joel Whitney vividly brings to life the early days of the Cold War, when the CIA's Ivy League ties were strong, and key American literary figures were willing to secretly do the bidding of the nation's spymasters."" —James Risen, Pulitzer Prize-winning 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—one that compels all those who work in the academic, media and literary boiler rooms to ask some troubling questions of themselves...” —David Talbot, founder of Salon and author of The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America's Secret Government"
