Bradley Edward Ayers (born May 7, 1935) is a former CIA operative.

Biography

After a stint in the Army, Ayers was recruited by the Department of Defense in 1962 to work with the CIA training anti-Castro Cuban exiles. Ayers was stationed at JMWAVE and collaborated with Alpha 66. He also took part in Operation Mongoose. After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Ayers was ordered to shut down Mongoose.

Ayers was one of the first career officers to voice opposition to the Vietnam War and to speak out publicly against the influence of private and special interests in American politics. He was honorably discharged from active duty in 1965. Ayers had since worked as a commercial pilot, a private detective, and an undercover operative with the Drug Enforcement Administration's South Florida Task Force.

Ayers is the author of the book "The War That Never Was" (1976) and "The Zenith Secret: A CIA Insider Exposes the Secret War Against Cuba and the Plot that Killed the Kennedy Brothers" (2006).
