In particular, it details an important chapter in the CIA's paramilitary history. In Tibet, new kinds of equipment - aircraft and parachutes, for example - were combat-tested under the most extreme conditions imaginable. New communications techniques were tried and perfected. In many cases, these lessons learned would be applied to other Cold War battlefields like Vietnam, Laos, and elsewhere. Tibet, therefore, became a vital proving ground for CIA case officers and their spycraft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCIA Paramilitary Operations in Tibet includes over 60 color and black and white photographs of the participants in the campaign and the insignia of the organizations involved, along with specially commissioned color artworks illustrating the aircraft employed in the skies above Tibet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Conboy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804510211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804510216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helion \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.74h x 8.30w x 0.15d","brand":"Ken Conboy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073310847231,"sku":"9781804510216","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfd70fef-8e12-4e28-b795-d51f43747c81.jpg?v=1685447081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cia-operations-in-tibet-1957-1974-ken-conboy-9781804510216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
