Yes. Now that all involved are dead, I can relaste that my father was in a meeting being briefed by a CIA guy (at Army Map where he worked) aboutthe book which they totally underwrote publication of. Ironically, my mother AFAIK was unaware at the time of the Company role,and bought read it. She was one thesis shy of a Phd in Intl Relations minor in Russian, with Serbo Croat and Polish as well. Djilas was jailed for writing the book though some years later allowed to travel to the US--gave a poetry reading the Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in NYC which I attended. Anyway,point is he saw the realities and spoke truth desp[ite the danger.
