À propos de cet audio

 An explosive, inside account of the mysterious attacks on U.S. officials around the world via an unseen, highly specialized weapon that has left dozens of victims with life-altering injuries, and the U.S. government’s attempt to cover it up—with startling new evidence from an award-winning 60 Minutes team

For nearly a decade, U.S. diplomats, spies, and soldiers around the world have reported sudden, devastating neurological injuries—symptoms eerily consistent with exposure to a directed energy weapon. Victims were told their illnesses were “psychosomatic.” Government agencies dismissed the evidence. And the CIA insisted no adversary was behind it. As the cases grew, from Havana to Hanoi, the media dubbed the phenomenon “the Havana Syndrome.”

In this groundbreaking exposé, 60 Minutes producers Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados reveal the hidden history of the so-called Havana Syndrome: from early attacks in Cuba and China, to the spread across global hotspots from Tbilisi to Vienna, to the mounting evidence implicating an elite Russian “kill” unit. Drawing on more than nine years of reporting, secret medical records, whistleblower testimony, and intelligence reports, they expose not only the technology behind the attacks but the U.S. government’s effort to downplay and deny them.

Combining the pace of a thriller and the authority of rigorous investigative journalism, this book brings readers inside the lives of officers like “Patient Zero” and “Poly,” whose careers and health were destroyed by the attacks, and Lt. Col. Greg Edgreen, the Pentagon investigator who risked everything to demand accountability. The Havana Syndrome is both a geopolitical saga with chilling consequences for national security and a deeply human story of betrayal and resilience. Liberté et sécurité Politique True Crime

Ce que les critiques en disent

“This is the book America needs right now. . . . This work by Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados is not just a thriller. It is a tour de force of journalism, among the highest examples of what our profession is and can be. The Havana Syndrome is a tale for the ages because it exposes how government continues to place its own interests ahead of selfless patriots who serve their country. . . . Zill de Granados and Rey have uncovered decisive evidence about the nature of the attacks and who was behind them. I won’t spoil the detective story here. It’s too good—and important—to rush. . . . The Havana Syndrome should be read by every American who respects or doubts the power and veracity of ‘shoe leather’ journalism. Dive into these pages, not just for the provocative writing and runaway narrative; appreciate, also, how our beloved America is defended and preserved by the very best in journalism as pursued by Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados.”—Scott Pelley, 60 Minutes correspondent
