Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ, HIS TRINITY, and the 1812 RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN PART ONE Though He Wrote His Seminal Work on War Almost 200 Year
    Journal of Slavic Military Studies, 19: 295–341, 2006 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN 1351-8046 print DOI: 10.1080/13518040600697944 FSLV1351-8046Journal of Slavic Military Studies,Studies Vol. 19, No. 02, April 2006: pp. 0–0 CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ, HIS TRINITY, AND THE 1812 RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN ClausewitzBrian Drohan and the 1812 Campaign Brian Drohan This article analyzes the 1812 Russian campaign using Clausewitz’s con- cept of the trinitarian nature of war. This approach uses a case study to delve deeply into understanding the subtle, philosophical nature of Clausewitz’s trinity. The article is serialized into two parts; the first dis- cusses each of the trinity’s elements. The second part applies each trini- tarian element to the Russian campaign. PART ONE Though he wrote his seminal work On War almost 200 years ago, Carl von Clausewitz’s intellectual achievements still dominate the study of warfare across the globe. One of Clausewitz’s theoretical insights in particular remains especially relevant at the beginning of the 21st century. Clausewitz developed a subtle, philosophical understanding of the nature of war as a human phenome- non articulated in his concept commonly called the Clausewitzian Trinity. This essay approaches the tripartite nature of war with a largely philo- sophical perspective: It will examine each trinitarian element individually as Clausewitz characterized those elements. Next, this article will analyze each element of the trinity as it is expressed in Napoleon’s Russian cam- paign of 1812. By viewing the tripartite definition of the nature of war through the lens of a historical campaign, historians and military thinkers will achieve a more comprehensive, holistic understanding of the trinity.

  • Glasnost and the Great Patriotic War
    THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SOVIET AND EAST EUROPEAN RESEARC H TITLE : Glasnost and the Great Patriotic War AUTHOR: Nin a Tumarkin CONTRACTOR: Wellesley College PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR : Nin a Tumarkin COUNCIL CONTRACT NUMBER : 804-07 DATE : April 199 1 The work leading to this report was supported by funds provided by the National Councilfor Soviet and Eas t European Research. The analysis and interpretations contained in the report are those of the author. NCSEER NOTE This paper is a contemporary, analytical discussion of the impact of Glasnost on Soviet citizens ' perceptions of the experiences and memories of World War II, The Great Patriotic War." It is expected to be published in a more compressed form in an upcoming issue of The Atlantic. Summary of Final Report GLASNOST AND THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR Nina Tumarkin Today, fifty years after Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 German invasion of the Sovie t Union, the winds of glasnost and perestroikahave demolished that sonorous combination of self- pity and self-congratulation that for so long had characterized the official memorialization of th e "Great Patriotic War" . An enshrined, idealized saga is being replaced with raw human memory . "Our understanding of the war," historian Mikhail Gefter remarked to me not long ago, "i s being transformed from a heroic farce to the tragedy that it really was . " My final report is a summary article based on my forthcoming book, Russia Remember s the War . In 1985, when I began the book, its subject was the cult of the Great Patriotic War i n the Soviet Union . The astonishing events of the past five years have forced me to transform th e book into an exploration of the history, successes, and sudden demise of the war cult .

Harmon was one of several distinguished Army officers to come from the Harmon family. His father graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1880 and later served as Commandant of Cadets at the Pennsylvania Military Academy. Two older brothers, Kenneth and Millard, were members of the West Point class of 1910 and 1912, respectively. The former served as Chief of the San Francisco Ordnance District during World War II; the latter reached flag rank and was lost over the Pacific during World War II while serving as Commander of the Pacific Area Army Air Forces. Hubert Harmon, born on April 3, 1882, in Chester, Pennsylvania, followed in their footsteps and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1915. Dwight D. Eisenhower also graduated in this class, and nearly forty years later the two worked together to create the new United States Air Force Academy. Harmon left West Point with a commission in the Coast Artillery Corps, but he was able to enter the new Army air branch the following year.
