Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America
John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr, ...

Yale University Press, 2009

This stunning book, based on KGB archives that have never come to light before, provides the most complete account of Soviet espionage in America ever written.

Years later, living in Britain, Vassiliev retrieved his extensive notebooks of transcribed documents from Moscow. With these ...

The Secret World of American Communism (Annals of Communism Series)

6 reviews
Harvey Klehr, John Earl Haynes, ...

Yale University Press, 1996

An excellent book! A real eye-opener.
This book should result in the rewriting of some aspects of our history. The idea that American Communists were just trying to create Socialism in America with "guidance" from their fraternal brothers and sisters in Russia is a blatent lie: as the authors show, the CPUSA was a puppet for the Soviets, doing their bidding. Particularly disturbing was the aspect of Americans attending military ...

Encounter Books, 2005

Extremely Important Account of Liberal Historical Bias
A key principle of psychoanalytic theory is that wish distorts perception and leads to denial, self deception, and deceit. The authors of In Denial give many examples with detailed quotations which illustrate how Liberal/Socialist bias has blinded many historians to the realities of Communist Russia, Joseph Stalin, Russian espionage activities against America, and the role of the American ...

The Soviet World of American Communism (Annals of Communism Series)

6 reviews
Harvey Klehr, Kyrill M. Anderson, ...

Yale University Press, 1998

This book finally exposes the depth of American Communism
This book brings some closure to the McCarthy era witch-hunt, and to accusations that many in the west, sympathetic to Communism, turned their backs on the Great Terror where millions of people died. When Communism fell ten years ago, archives were finally opened and the connection between Soviet controls of American Communism was finally documented. Not only did American Communists turn their ...

Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America (Yale Nota Bene)

19 reviews
John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr

Yale University Press, 2000

A Shocking Book, Well Written, Desperately Needed
The subject of this book is a shocking fact of American history that, for reasons inconceivable, has been thoroughly neglected by the historical community for more than a decade. The secrets uncovered through the VENONA Project and presented here by Haynes -- all of them factual -- dramatically re-cast American Cold War history, so much so that any American, regardless of political orientation, ...

Early Cold War Spies

4 reviews

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Yes, Virginia, there really were hundreds of Communist spies
This reference work belongs on your bookshelf. Short and factual while heavily documented, in effect a college-level history primer, it recounts and places in context the major espionage trials of the 1940s and 1950s. It is now estimated there were several hundred Soviet spies in the United States, pilfering government, industrial or military secrets, and occasionally rising high enough in ...
