Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Terry Reed is a former Air Force Intelligence operative who served with the most secret project of the Vietnam War. Task Force Alpha. This was the most sophisticated and highly classified intelligence gathering unit of that period. At the age of 21, armed with a top-secret security clearance provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, a near photographic memory and strong mid western values, he was entrusted with America’s dirtiest secrets. As a civilian intelligence asset, he later worked for the FBI and CIA on projects the law had bared these agencies from undertaking. His problems began when the CIA found he had more patriotism than it had bargained for.

John Cummings is a former prize-winning investigative reporter at N.Y Newsday. He has co-authored the "Heist" (1987), "Goombata: The Improbable Rise and Fall of John Gotti and His Gang" (1990) and "Death Do Us Part" (1993).

For over thirty years, since the Bay of Pigs, he has studied the confluence of intelligence gathering, money laundering and drug trafficking. He resides in New York.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Extensive Covert Operational Insider's Viewpoint from the Iran-Contra Era
    Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The best part of this book is the author's storyline, which is the extensive Reed professional, personal, and family narrative accompanying this insider's story of the Iran-Contra affair and more. In particular, the author enables readers to envision incredible details by reading between the lines of the covert operations and legal rangling deep into their core. With the author's immersive style, the reader becomes an investigator in their own right. I attribute the book's compelling narrative to Reed's trained professional memory, attention to detail, and Cummings's professional writing skills.

    Additionally, the lengthy narrative may appear dull to some readers. In that case, a Kindle keyword search using Mena, Arkansas, and Iran-Contra's well-known names (famous and infamous) will reveal a wealth of insider knowledge concerning some of the most tumultuous events in modern US history. Readers will find the most revealing revelation within the book's timeline on page 835 (Kindle version), well after Reed's acquittal on the fabricated federal mail fraud charges. Without spoiling the surprise, the true identity of the man whose alias was Robert Johnson tells a story all on its own.

    Thanks Terry Reed for this book . It the age old story absolute power corrupts absolutely . We the People have given those in government too much power cause we want to be lazy and not run Our Country . Well as Terry found out the real hard way you cant play with rattlesnakes and not expect not to get bit . Direct Democracy We the People know what best for Our nation and We vote on issues . No more secret meetings , backroom dealings , secret organizations that really work just for the elites . True Freedom we do things the right way in accordance with the morals and values Our Country was founded on. Not the left handed way , the easy way , the seductive way that will always take you into a ditch .

    4.0 out of 5 stars The crimes of "patriots"
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2013
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    COMPROMISED is written in a novelistic style (like James Mills' THE UNDERGROUND EMPIRE). Of course it's impossible for anyone to remember every word of dialogue in every conversation years after the events. So I'm sure there is a certain amount of artistic license in recreating those scenes. There is also way too much technical information about aircraft for the non-enthusiast, and a lot of things about Reed's personal life that I wasn't interested in.

    Still, sift through all of that and you'll find many insights into the shadowy parts of the US government that have been operating at least since the 1940s. The big money to be made in the illegal economy of drug smuggling, money laundering and gun-running; the corruption of every institution that gets involved; the idea that "anti-communism" (or the "war on terrorism") justifies just about any kind of behavior.

    "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?"
    "I am a political atheist. I work for the CIA."
    "What does that mean?"
    "That means Agency is politics. Agency is the government. Everything else is just puppets, a big game, Terry-san. You did not know that?"

    5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ!!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2015
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    One of the best political books I have ever read. Could not put it down, got watery eye's reflecting on what Terry Reed and his family went through. Sheds a lot of light on Barry Seal, gives a good insight as to why Barry may have been murdered. Fills in a lot of the pieces into Felix Rodriquez and Luis Posada; I was particularly interested in the info on Felix Rodriquez as he is connected so closely with figures from the JFK assassination, his VERY close ties to GHW Bush, just another reminder of how dirty Bush really is, a high criminal. Stunning revelations on Bill Clinton. Bought another book from reading Compromised by L.D. Brown, one of Clinton's most important Arkansas State Police officers, (the book is called CROSSFIRE). A must read especially in light of Hillary maybe running for President.

    This was a large book. Usually in books this voluminous, you have repetition and boring information dry spots consisting of minutiae. Not this book. It read like a spy mystery, but the events were as real as the people. It kept me engaged; and was thoughtfully organized and well written.

    But in the end, there was no justice.

    Great book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars When all else fails.....
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2001
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    As I read this work, it became so compelling that I couldn't
    wait to wake up to read more. I found myself yelling at Terry
    and his wife throughout the book - "No, don't do that!" Knowing
    not exactly what was waiting for them in the future - but knowing
    it wasn't going to be good.
    What was amazing was how they "played his ego", "played his
    ambition" and generally opted out when questions that made sense
    were asked. Who is ever to know if any or all of this story
    is or was true. What is important is: It makes too much sense!
    The methodology and policies Mr. Reed explains about the Agency
    is terrific. Especially, the Barry Seal flights - which tends
    to explain a lot of other "so called" mysterious plane crashes
    around the world.
    Compromised has changed my life, because it not only brought
    lots of new information, but confirmed all my worst fears!

    5.0 out of 5 stars CIA Insider Blows Whistle On US Government Cocaine Trafficking
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Few challenge the CIA and live to tell the tale. Terry Reed is one of the bravest whistleblowers ever to expose the fraudulent War on Drugs. In this detailed insider's account, Terry exposes the complicity of the Bush and Clinton crime families and the CIA in importing cocaine. For revealing the truth, Terry suffered near lethal consequences. His book and testimony on YouTube transformed my worldview about the War on Drugs and inspired me to research and write a series of books on the subject.
