  • Historical Dictionary of International Intelligence Second Edition
    The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays on the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events. Brief A–Z entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross- referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, pho- tographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

  • US Spy Activities in Western and Northern China
    History: US Spy Activities in Western and Northern China The First CIA Agent Killed in Operation By Shane Quinn Region: Asia, USA Global Research, January 16, 2020 Theme: History, Intelligence, Media Disinformation The first CIA agent killed in action was the 37-year-oldDouglas S. Mackiernan, a former code-breaker for the United States Army Air Forces, who during World War II was promoted to Major, serving as an Air Force meteorologist in the city of Nanjing, eastern China. Mackiernan lost his life during late April 1950 on the Tibetan frontier, within the internationally recognised boundaries of China, when he was mistakenly shot dead by border guards from Tibet. Mackiernan’s death was a forerunner to the difficulties that Washington and the CIA would experience against their Chinese adversary over the elapsing 70 years, following Beijing’s 1949 communist revolution – with China’s “loss” comprising the most severe blow to strike US power in the post-1945 age. News of Mackiernan’s killing took about a month to reach the American authorities present in the capital of India, New Delhi, which had been his ultimate destination (1). It was an unfortunate end for Mackiernan who, over the preceding seven months, had traversed over some of the most challenging, remote and idyllic landscapes on earth; so as to shake off Beijing’s closely pursuing forces. From September 1949, Mackiernan had turned southwards – from where he was based in Xinjiang, north-western China – towards the nearby and little known Taklamakan Desert, a picturesque but inhospitable terrain almost the size of Germany, which is ringed by rugged mountains to the south and west, while the Gobi Desert stretches out in vast expanses to the east.

  • Ment in Xinjiang Kazakh Refugees in Kashmir Ryosuke
    Chapter 4 Beyond Humanitarian Interest: America’s Aid, Inclusion, and Invest- ment in Xinjiang Kazakh Refugees in Kashmir Ryosuke Ono Waseda University Abstract This article focuses on the manner in which Kazakh refugees who had fled from Xinjiang in 1949 and 1950 attracted American interest. These refugees were housed in refugee camps in Srinagar and finally immigrated to Turkey. American aid was extended to them through missionaries and by an anthropologist. Simultaneous- ly, however, the involvement of the Americans caused the politicization of the Ka- zakh refugees with respect to Kashmir-related issues. American interests at the local level were highlighted by Adlai Stevenson’s visit. J. Hall Paxton, the ex-American consul to Urumqi, maintained his attention on the Xinjiang refugees. This article considers the correspondence exchanged be- tween Paxton and the Uyghur refugees who arrived in Srinagar earlier as a model of his efforts to include Kazakh migrants within America’s favor. This attention stemmed from both humanitarian interest and, more importantly, the strategic value of the refugees. Paxton’s appeal to Washington resulted in the adaption of the United States Escapee Program to incorporate Kazakh refugees, enabling their migration to Tur- key. However, this program intended to utilize qualified escapees in covert opera- tions. For the Americans, the Kazakh refugees represented the possibility of fulfilling their “political, psychological and intelligence” purposes, and could be considered as candidates for “Phase B” of America’s operations against Soviet Russia. 本稿は、クリエイティブ・コモンズ(表示) 4.0 国際ライセンス（CC-BY)下に提供します。 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.ja ― 43 ― Ono, Beyond Humanitarian Interest 1.
