Presented in a commanding Full-Length audio production, this briefing tracks the covert evolution of Operation Mockingbird from its postwar origins under Frank Wisner to the explosive leaks orchestrated by Daniel Ellsberg. Hear the tension mount as CIA spymasters court media barons, manipulate battlefield dispatches, and turn revered journalists into tactical assets of psychological warfare.
