The Google preview of the book unfortunately doesn't contain the page cited, and what can be seen of does nothing to inspire confidence in it as a legitimate source of information.

Heidner" might just be a pseudonym for a disinformation operation, as while mention of Lansdale is bound to perk the ear of anyone familiar with deep politics, the source cited for that mention is dubious at best.
