Title: Patriotic betrayal
Description: Overview:  In this revelatory book, Karen M. Paget shows how the CIA turned the National Student Association into an intelligence asset during the Cold War, with students used-often wittingly and sometimes unwittingly-as undercover agents inside America and abroad.  In 1967, Ramparts magazine exposed the story, prompting the Agency into engineering a successful cover-up.  Now Paget, drawing on archival sources, declassified documents, and more than 150 interviews, shows that the Ramparts story revealed only a small part of the plot.
