As motivating as Lawrence of Arabia; as insightful as le Carré; as reliable as David McCullough . indispensable reading for a basic foundation.” —Hayden B. Peake, former army and CIA intelligence officer Can you keep a secret? Maybe you can, but the United States government cannot. Since the birth of our country, nations large and small, from Russia and China to Ghana and Ecuador, have stolen the most precious secrets of the United States. From the American Revolution, through the Civil War and two World Wars, to the atomic age of the Manhattan Project, Sulick details the lives of those who have betrayed America’s secrets. Spying in America serves as the perfect introduction to the early November 2012 history of espionage in America.

JMURJ Popular opinion and many historians portray the effects of Soviet espionage on the ABSTRACT United States as disastrous. Although covert Soviet efforts undeniably harmed America, their extent and gravity has been greatly exaggerated. This paper evaluates primary and secondary sources on the subject to strike a delicate balance between minimizing and inflating the effects of Soviet activities. It acknowledges that espionage did some damage, but questions the legal status, extent, and effect of much of the Soviets’ “stolen” information, ultimately arguing that most Soviet espionage was actually more harmful to the Soviet Union than to the United States. RUSSIAN COLONEL IS INDICTED Any argument downplaying covert Soviet endeavors HERE AS TOP SPY IN U.S.1 must begin with an admission that some espionage unquestionably led to detrimental consequences for CHIEF ‘RUSSIAN SPY’ the United States.

THREATS AGAINST AMERICA: THE SECOND CIRCUIT AS ARBITER OF NATIONAL SECURITY LAW David Raskin* INTRODUCTION For nearly 100 years, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has been a leading force in defining and resolving the uniquely thorny issues that arise at the intersection of individual liberty and national security. The court’s decisions in this arena are characterized by its willingness to tackle difficult questions and its skill in balancing the needs of the government with the rights of the accused to ensure fundamental fairness in the ages of espionage and terror. I. THE ESPIONAGE PROBLEM AND THE RISE OF THE COLD WAR STATE In 1917, soon after the United States entered World War I, Congress passed the Espionage Act.1 The new law strengthened existing prohibitions on actions harmful to the national defense and, most notably, authorized the death penalty for anyone convicted of sharing information with the intent to harm U.S.

    Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960

    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

  • I. F. Stone Encounters with Soviet Intelligence

    I. F. Stone Encounters with Soviet Intelligence

    HoI. F.ll Stone:and Encounters with Soviet Intelligence I. F.Stone Encounters with Soviet Intelligence ✣ Max Holland Of all the disclosures contained in the notebooks of Alexander Vassiliev, few are likely to be more contentious than those involving the jour- nalist I. F. Stone. From April 1936 until at least the fall of 1938, according to the note- books, Stone acted as a “talent spotter,” helping to identify or recruit other Americans who might be receptive to assisting Soviet intelligence.1 Under the assigned codename of “Blin,” Stone also acted as a courier, conveying mes- sages between a Soviet intelligence ofªcer and his American agent. These were intelligence functions, having nothing to do with being an editorial writer for the New York Post, Stone’s main occupation at the time. Vassiliev’s notes also reveal that Stone passed along privileged information that might be deemed useful for intelligence purposes. Altogether, these activities either contravene or, as this essay will argue, greatly complicate widely held views about Stone and his status as an icon of journalism. When Stone died in June 1989 at the age of 81, all three major television networks announced his death on their news shows as if he were a household name rather than a print journalist whose work had appeared primarily in elite publications normally associated with the country’s intelligentsia. Stone was hailed as the living embodiment of the ªrst amendment, a ªercely inde- pendent journalist opposed to the “Washington Insiderism” that often blights reporting from the nation’s capital.2 Both The Washington Post, Stone’s local paper, and The New York Times ran full obituaries, editorials of praise, and ap- preciations in several op-ed pieces.
