"John Lisle reveals the untold story of the OSS Research and Development Branch-The Dirty Tricks Department-and its role in World War II. In the summer of 1942, Stanley Lovell, a renowned industrial chemist, received a mysterious order to report to an unfamiliar building in Washington, D.C. When he arrived, he was led to a barren room where he waited to meet the man who had summoned him. After a disconcerting amount of time, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the head of the OSS, walked in the door. "You know you're Sherlock Holmes, of course," Donovan said as an introduction. "Professor Moriarty is the man I want for my staff...I think you're it." Following this life-changing encounter, Lovell became the head of a secret group of scientists who developed dirty tricks for the OSS, the precursor to the CIA. Their inventions included bat bombs, suicide pills, fighting knives, silent pistols, and camouflaged explosives. Moreover, they forged documents for undercover agents, plotted the assassination of foreign leaders, and performed truth drug experiments on unsuspecting subjects. Based on extensive archival research and personal interviews, The Dirty Tricks Department tells the story of these scheming scientists, explores the moral dilemmas that they faced, and reveals their dark legacy of directly inspiring the most infamous program in CIA history: MKULTRA"--

"Tout comme Sigmund Freud, avec qui il plaisantait beaucoup, Jacques Derrida était doté d'un grand sens de l'humour et il avait un réel penchant pour les mots d'esprit. D'où la question de ce livre : et si les blagues de Derrida étaient non seulement ludiques mais aussi lourdes de conséquences? Et si elles révélaient quelque chose de plus fondamental concernant le travail de la déconstruction, à commencer par le concept même de "jeu"? Ce petit essai traite du caractère joueur de Derrida, de ses plaisanteries, au regard de sa pensée du jeu. Il s'intéresse au jeu des jeux d'esprit de Derrida en accordant une attention toute particulière aux "histoires juives" du philosophe, c'est-à-dire aux histoires qui font ressortir le jeu œdipien du Père-de-la-Déconstruction avec le Père-de-la-Psychanalyse. Qu'est-ce que cela voudrait dire pour ces deux pères, ces origines respectives (déconstruction et psychanalyse) de jouer à l'origine? Qu'est-ce que le jeu? Et qu'est-ce que le jeu a à voir avec le caractère joueur de Derrida, ses histoires juives et le jeu surprenant de son écriture? En soulevant de telles questions, ce livre espère pouvoir montrer que la déstabilisation des origines, le problème de l'origine si central dans la pensée de Derrida--que cette origine soit philosophique, biblique ou familiale (juive)--n'est pas seulement une affaire conceptuelle sérieuse. C'est aussi un événement particulièrement drôle et digne d'analyse."-- Page 4 de la couverture
