Getting information out of the kind you have Scott is not easy. Not easy as no book is easy to market and get out - and then you likely have hidden forces that would like to see it never see the light of day. I'm not an expert on this and to be honest am doing my own hunting for how to get out my own book on a totally different subject now. I'd suggest you contact several persons who have successfully gotten out book that fall into the general topic of 'national security secrets', and ask them how they found their editors, publishers, etc....and all of the horror stories [which they all have]...and plan from there. Ditto about documentary filmmakers. An interested investor is always a great asset, but they are few and far between...less so those that won't interfere in your desired directions of approach. A good editor can turn something that is disorganized and complex into a interesting, exciting and important book. Publishers don't like many photos nor documents due to cost and the documents as they fear it will turn off the average reader. They'll allow some, but not as many as you want. The book need not, and likely can not be, the 'final word' on the subject. However, getting it 'out there' will get others who know other pieces of the puzzle to come forward for a revised edition or follow up book with a more definitive story. Getting on alternative media talk shows is another way to beat the bushes for missing information. There is no one correct way to go forward with something like this, but I'd suggest a multi-pronged approach. It is a hard slog...but in the end necessary and beneficial. I'd also suggest talking to as many former intelligence operatives and officers who have left in disgust and are now whistleblowers - even if their experiences don't overlap with your material. They usually can point you in directions and introduce you to people who can help.
