Summary

In 1960, former Richmond, Indiana, police chief Dan Mitrione moved to Brazil to begin a new career with the United States Agency for International Development. During his ten years with the USAID, Mitrione trained and oversaw foreign police forces in extreme counterinsurgency tactics-including torture-aimed at stomping out communism across South America. Though he was only a foot soldier in a larger secret campaign, he became a symbol of America's brutal interventionism when he was kidnapped and executed by Tupamaro rebels in Montevideo, Uruguay
