The Havana Syndrome

Michael Rey

For nearly a decade, 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. 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 a mounting trail of evidence pointing to an elite Russian 'kill' unit as the culprit. 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.
