(en) Shadowplay: The Secret Team written by Alan Moore and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz with an introduction by Daniel Sheehan (general counsel of TCI). It covers the history of the Central Intelligence Agency and its controversial involvement in the Vietnam War, the Iran-Contra affair, and its relationship with figures like Augusto Pinochet and Manuel Noriega. The narrator of Shadowplay is an aging anthropomorphic American Eagle, a bellicose retired CIA agent

Flashpoint: The LA Penca Bombing is written by Joyce Brabner, as told to her by Christic Institute clients Martha Honey and Tony Avirgan. It deals with the La Penca bombing which happened during the civil war in Nicaragua in 1984.

By Alan Moore and Gary Lloyd-In the ten years since Brought to Light was first published, we have become familiar with the idea of a secret government, popularised by Internet conspiracy buffs and, of course, The X-Files, where the obsession with alien cover-ups has been at the expense of the real horrors -- the Contras pulling the tongues of peasants through knife slits in their throats or the bombardment of Laos.This spoken word version of Moore's text is therefore essential listening. Dark electronic backing by Gary Lloyd accompanies Moore's reading of the sinister subject matter. It is only when Moore adopts the character of a grizzled veteran of these campaigns that the horrors begin to seep into your
evening. Voice thick with cancer, punctuated by cocaine snuffles and hacking coughs, the atrocities come thick and fast in the vet's monologue. Everyone has a gallon of blood in their body, a swimming pool holds 20,000 gallons -- the vet describes the casualities adding up to two, sometimes three swimming pools. Sometimes more. It is a typically macabre Moore image, and it works particularly well in this performance.Although the vet's confession covers familiar ground, it is erected on the intricate, sturdy scaffold of the Christic Institute's research. It is this wealth of historical detail that makes Brought to Light a success.
At the end of the performance, silence spools out of the stereo, a hiatus before the complex military industrial music that underpins the reading returns. You sit there gasping, your disbelief hanging out, as the half-forgotten abuses of covert America run through your mind like a herd of devils. Brought to Light is a primer for a revolution in your perception of post-war history, ripe with blood and ink and secrets. (Michael De Abaitua- The Idler magazine)
