"The Boy in Zaquitos", Bruce McAllister

NT F&SF Jan 2006 - fiction
Retired operative tells of tells of his South American missions for the CIA in the 1960s. He was spreading pneumonic plague, trying to make it look natural, germ warfare. Doing this work put him in therapy.

Interesting but uncomfortable story. It reads more like fact than fiction. Made me wonder where the facts ended.
