Consisting of correspondence, writings, conference proceedings, printed matter, and some sound recordings, the papers largely relate to American domestic and foreign policy, with additional significant materials relating to Soviet espionage in the United States before and during World War II. Of particular interest to historians are the extensive research materials in the papers pertaining to the books Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case and The Haunted Wood: Soviet Espionage in America—The Stalin Era. These include a large number of photocopies of FBI and other files which were obtained by Weinstein under the Freedom of Information Act. The research materials also include a large number of clippings and other printed matter, as well as interviews conducted by Weinstein of numerous individuals associated with the Hiss case, including Alger Hiss himself. There are also microfilm reels containing documents relating to the purported involvement of Bulgarian security forces in the attempted assassination of Inventory of the Allen Weinstein 2004C61 2 papers Pope John Paul II in 1981. The papers also include materials relating to Weinstein's editorship of The Washington Quarterly in the 1980s and his tenure as executive director of The Democracy Program and its successor organization, the National Endowment for Democracy, from 1982 to 1984. In addition, the papers contain conference proceedings stemming from Weinstein's service as vice-chairman of the American delegation to a major UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) conference in Mexico City in 1982.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews Book Reviews S. M. Plokhy, Yalta: The Price of Peace. New York: Viking, 2010. 451 pp. $29.95. Reviewed by Warren F. Kimball, Rutgers University Whatever the shrill voices of believers in conspiracy, the Yalta Conference decisions have long been understood by historians as the logical, if unsatisfying, conclusion of military events and high politics during the Second World War. Did Franklin Roose- velt suddenly “sell out” Eastern Europe in mistaken efforts to create a long-term coop- erative relationship with the Soviet Union? Did Winston Churchill ªght in vain to save Eastern Europe from Soviet domination? Did Iosif Stalin pull the wool over the eyes of an ailing Roosevelt and his “loyal lieutenant”? Plokhy’s study of the conference supplants Diane Shaver Clemens’s Yalta, pub- lished by Oxford University Press forty years ago. Others have skirted the edges with different interpretive conclusions, but none have approached Plokhy’s detailed retell- ing of both speciªcs and atmospherics. He brings more to the table than just detail. He captures the complex personal and political dynamic between the Big Three lead- ers. Using the snippets of new documentation coming out of the Presidential Archive (former Politburo Archive) in Moscow, he offers an intelligent and persuasive analysis of why Stalin acted. His analysis of Churchill’s and Roosevelt’s motives makes eminent sense. Plokhy’s balanced and plausible portrait of Stalin is the book’s most important contribution. Stalin comes across as implacable in his quest to gain control in Eastern Europe, speciªcally Poland. How that would be done, and how that control would be exercised, were subsidiary issues.

  • IMF Working Paper
    WP/00I149 IMF Working Paper The Case against Harry Dexter White: Still Not Proven James M Boughton INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND © 2000 International Monetary Fund WP/00/149 IMF Working Paper Secretary's Department The Case against Harry Dexter White: Still Not Proven Prepared by James M. Boughton' August 2000 Abstract The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the Th1F or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author( s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. Harry Dexter White, the principal architect of the international financial system established at the end of the Second World War, was arguably the most important U. S. government economist of the 20th century. His reputation, however, has suffered because of allegations that he spied for the Soviet Union. That charge has recently been revived by the declassification of documents showing that he met with Soviet agents in 1944 and 1945. Evaluation of that evidence in the context of White' s career and worldview casts doubt on the case against him and provides the basis for a more benign interpretation. JEL Classification Numbers: B31, F33 Keywords: Harry Dexter White; Bretton Woods; McCarthyism Author's E-Mail Address: [email protected] , This paper was prepared while I was on leave at St. Antony's College, University of Oxford. I would like to thank Shailendra Anjaria, Bruce Craig, Stanley Fischer, Amy Knight, Roger Sandilands, and seminar participants at the University of Strathclyde for comments on earlier drafts. This work also has benefited from many personal recollections, for which I thank Robert Cae, David Eddy, Sir Joseph Gold, Sidney Rittenberg, Paul Samuelson, Ernest Weiss, and Gordon Williams.

  • Harry Dexter White, Arguably the Most Important US Government Economist of the 20 Century, Acquired a Bifurcated Reputati
    - 3 - 1_ INTRODUCTION Harry Dexter White, arguably the most important U.S. government economist of the 20th century, acquired a bifurcated reputation by thc end of his short life in 1948. On the positive side, he was recognized along with John Maynard Keynes as the architect of the postwar international economic system. On the negative, he was accused of betraying U.S. national interests and spying for the Soviet Union before and during World War II. Although he was never charged with a crime and defended himself successfully both before a federal Grand Jury and through open testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the accusations were revived five years later, in the late stages of the McCarthy era, and never quite died away. Four recently published books have revived the espionage charges against White.' The new allegations are based primarily on a series of cables sent between Soviet intelligence agents in the United States and Moscow. Many of those cables were intercepted by U.S. intelligence, were partially decoded in the years after the war through the then-secret and now famous VENONA project,3 and have recently been declassified and released to the public. Selected other cables and documents from the Soviet-era KGB files were made available for a fee to two writers, Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev, by the Russian government. Far more extensive data from those files were smuggled out of Russia in the 1990s by a former agent, Vasili Mitrokhin. On first reading, these various releases appear to offer damning new evidence.

  • The Men Who Signed the Treaty of Paris
    The Men Who Signed the Treaty of Paris October 3, 2008 The legacy of the Treaty of Paris, signed on September 3, 1783, has been much greater than was ever anticipated by its American and British negotiators. On October 3, A panel of historians discussed the treaty signers: Gregg L. Lint, editor of The Adams Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society; Carla Mulford, professor of English, Penn State University; and author of Benjamin Franklin and the Ends of Empire; Walter Stahr, author of John Jay; and William Anthony Hay, assistant professor, Mississippi State University, representing British signer David Hartley. Former Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein served as moderator, and the Librarian and Archivist of Canada Ian E. Wilson made opening remarks. This program was presented in partnership with the Embassy of Canada. ALLEN WEINSTEIN: Good evening. AUDIENCE: Good evening. WEINSTEIN: Thank you. Good evening. Actually, can I have that a little louder? Good evening. AUDIENCE: Good evening. WEINSTEIN: Better. Thank you. I'm Allen Weinstein. And the last time I looked, I was Archivist of the United States. And I hope that holds true for this panel. Welcome to the National Archives and to the William G. McGowan Theater. Tonight, we will discuss the men who, 225 years ago, signed the Treaty of Paris, the subject of the exhibit that opened here today in the O'Brien gallery upstairs, an exhibit which we call "1783: Subject or Citizen?" How many of you have had a chance to go up and see the exhibit? Do. You'll enjoy it. The treaty is arguably one of the most important documents in American history, part of the collection of documents from the Confederation period, which ended with the writing and adoption of our Constitution.
