Ian McEwan's "Sweet Tooth" [0] was partly inspired by the CIA's secret funding of Encounter magazine [1]. He also makes reference to to Frances Stonor Saunders' [2] book "Who Paid the Piper?: CIA and the Cultural Cold War" [3] which is about CIA funded cultural manipulation (on my bookshelf, but only dipped into it a bit). Fascinating stuff.
