'The Havana Syndrome is terrific - and terrifying. The authors have cut through the fog of secrets, screwups, and cover-ups to bring you this illuminating book. It will rob you of your sleep and send shivers up your spine.' TIM WEINER, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Mission and Legacy of Ashes
THE TRUE STORY OF JOURNALISTS WHO UNCOVERED A NEW SECRET WEAPON THAT CAN STRIKE THROUGH WALLS WITHOUT LEAVING A TRACE...
In the fall of 2017, reports of mysterious 'sonic' attacks on U.S. diplomats began emerging from Havana, Cuba. Victims were struck down in their homes and offices. They described hearing loud buzzing sounds and feeling a sudden, intense wave of pressure hit their bodies. In the aftermath, they suffered debilitating headaches, vertigo, brain fog. In the worst cases, sensory and memory problems became chronic.
As investigative journalists Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados began to look into the strange events, they had a chilling realisation. The 'diplomats' getting hit were not only State Department personnel. Many, if not most, were clandestine intelligence officers working undercover. Was someone systematically targeting America s spies?
And it wasn t just Cuba. Incidents were occurring in Beijing, Bangkok, Tbilisi, London, Vienna, and other locations. Young children and spouses were getting caught in the cross fire. And yet, as the tally of victims grew, CIA officials were adamant: The illnesses were 'psychosomatic.'
In this groundbreaking expos , two award-winning journalists reveal the hidden history of the so-called Havana Syndrome. Drawing on more than nine years of reporting, secret medical records, whistleblower testimony, and intelligence reports, they uncover not only the technology and perpetrators behind the attacks but the U.S. government s effort to downplay and deny them.
With the pace of a thriller, this book brings readers inside the lives of American intelligence officers whose careers and health were destroyed by the attacks, as well as the brave few who risked everything to demand accountability. The Havana Syndrome is a geopolitical saga with chilling lessons for national security and a deeply human story of betrayal and resilience.
'Not just a thriller...a tour de force of journalism... The Havana Syndrome is a tale for the ages.' SCOTT PELLEY

For nearly a decade, U.S. diplomats, spies, and soldiers around the world have reported sudden, devastating neurological injuries—symptoms eerily consistent with exposure to a directed energy weapon. Victims were told their illnesses were “psychosomatic.” Government agencies dismissed the evidence. And the CIA insisted no adversary was behind it. As the cases grew, from Havana to Hanoi, the media dubbed the phenomenon “the Havana Syndrome.” In this groundbreaking exposé, 60 Minutes producers Michael Rey and Oriana Zill de Granados reveal the hidden history of the so-called Havana Syndrome: from early attacks in Cuba and China, to the spread across global hotspots from Tbilisi to Vienna, to the mounting evidence implicating an elite Russian “kill” unit. Drawing on more than nine years of reporting, secret medical records, whistleblower testimony, and intelligence reports, they expose not only the technology behind the attacks but the U.S. government’s effort to downplay and deny them. Combining the pace of a thriller and the authority of rigorous investigative journalism, this book brings readers inside the lives of officers like “Patient Zero” and “Poly,” whose careers and health were destroyed by the attacks, and Lt. Col. Greg Edgreen, the Pentagon investigator who risked everything to demand accountability. The Havana Syndrome is both a geopolitical saga with chilling consequences for national security and a deeply human story of betrayal and resilience.
