From MK Ultra and Operation Northwoods to propaganda, assassination plots and secret wars, these are the CIA operations that went too far.
Discover the disturbing true history behind America’s most controversial intelligence agency.
The CIA was created to gather intelligence and protect American interests. But during the Cold War, the agency became involved in assassination plots, psychological warfare, mind-control experiments, propaganda campaigns and secret wars around the world.
In this Forgotten History compilation, we examine some of the most controversial CIA secret operations ever revealed, including Operation Mongoose, Operation Cyclone, Operation Mockingbird, Operation Northwoods, MK Ultra and the bizarre use of the Aswang legend during the Hukbalahap rebellion in the Philippines.
We also explore the birth of the Central Intelligence Agency, the officials who shaped it and the moment America’s intelligence service began operating far beyond the traditional world of espionage.
These operations may sound unbelievable, but they were rooted in real government documents, investigations and declassified history.

Operation Mockingbird
Operation Northwoods
The Birth of the CIA
