THE FILES
12 OPERATIONS — 1944–1985 — PARTIALLY DECLASSIFIED
Each file documents a covert operation built around a real historical figure and an event that sits so precisely inside the historical record that no one can prove it didn't happen. Files are released in the order they were found — not the order in which they occurred. Files 007–012 remain encrypted pending authorization review.
