From David Talbot (born 1951), American journalist, author, and media executive, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles and the Rise of America’s Secret Government (2015):

In the name of defending the free world from Communist tyranny, they would impose an American reign on the world enforced by nuclear terror and cloak-and-dagger brutality.
