A novel the CIA spent a fortune to suppress
The title is correct: the CIA spent a significant amount of money to suppress the book. That the CIA was founded shortly after the book was published doesn't make that impossible.

1946 the book was published, 1947 the CIA was created. Complaining that is an “inaccuracy” is pedantic.

Right. So what is inaccurate in the piece? I don't see anything that contradicts this.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just adding to your argument so everyone is clear just how close the two events were.
