The COINTELPRO Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Dissent in the United States

About this record

Companion volume to Agents of Repression (1988). Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall's 1990 South End Press compilation reproduces hundreds of pages of FBI COINTELPRO documents — released under FOIA — covering the Bureau's operations against the Communist Party, the Socialist Workers Party, the Puerto Rican independence movement, the New Left and the anti-war movement, the Black liberation movement (the Panthers, US Organization, Republic of New Africa, Black nationalists generally), and the American Indian Movement. The single most cited published COINTELPRO primary-source compendium and a core reference for political-prisoner support and movement history.
