Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Autobiography of David Atlee Phillips. What a remarkable life. POW escapee, Actor, Newspaperman and career CIA officer and expert regime changer. Phillips was Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA handler aka Maurice Bishop, and they were both Fort Worth boys. He was later CIA Western Hemisphere director and founded the Retiree spook club. This is an impossible book to find. I have only seen one other copy and it was a second printing stated 1987 inscribed by his wife Gina. David Atlee Phillips died right before that stated second printing (this copy came after the stated second printing and this one says First edition but that is also B.S.) He must have died before seeing the finished book. It was self-published in his mid-century Bethesda MD house on Stone Trail Drive. The ISBN seems to be a purposeful obfuscated match to another CIA book (Thwarting Enemies). It was published right around at the time of his death in 1988. I'm guessing it was intentional with the goal to bury this book in history. Phillips knew where all the bodies were buried. Phillips testified under oath that Oswald was never in Mexico City in 1963. It was all smoke and mirrors. This book is the One and only copy online. His brother was the pulp writer Phillip Atlee. His nephew is the folk rocker Shawn Phillips.
