Has anyone read this book? Are you aware it was mostly censored by the CIA? Why do you think it had to be censored, and what sort of information do you suppose was scrubbed from its pages?
The 284 page book was immediately seized upon being published in the 1960s. It eventually resurfaced a couple of times, in two separate and heavily-redacted editions.
There is a 1993 edition (pictured below) with an alternate extended title that contains only 127 pages, along with an 85 page addendum that was written much later. This has been falsely touted as the “uncensored” version, but over half of the original content is missing.
In 2013, an edition with the original title surfaced, however it had been redacted even further to merely 55 pages out of the original 284.
