The Right Hand Man - Paperback

by Cillian Dunne (Author)

The CIA built him. Then they tried to erase him.

Trained by Mossad, the DEA, and Fidel Castro's Cuba, Carlos Wittgreen became the triple spy at the center of Panama's shadow wars. As Manuel Noriega's right hand, he carried secrets powerful enough to topple governments.

Now, hundreds of long-hidden files have been unearthed. Once owned by Noriega and hidden for decades, these documents, combined with firsthand testimony, reveal how the United States created his regime, exploited him during the Cold War, and dismantled him when he stopped serving their interests and became volatile.

This is not only the story of one American-backed dictator but the blueprint. From Latin America to the Middle East, America has built leaders, used them, and discarded them. The Right Hand Man exposes what happens when that system reaches its breaking point and why the same playbook is still in use today.
