Description
North American Spies takes a fresh look at the history of espionage in the United States and Canada since 1898.
In this important collection of essays, a new generation of scholars and journalists use the latest verifiable evidence to tackle some of the most important, yet least known, events in recent history.
They argue in particular that: Soviet secret agents may have been behind the theft of secret Churchill-Roosevelt correspondence in 1940; President Truman's shadowy advisor, Admiral Souers, was the real architect of the CIA; and that Britain generated a home-bred McCarthyism similar to that in the USA.
This book features the first scholarly history of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and concludes with a guide to further study. Opening up a world often obscured by deliberate misinformation, North American Spies should be on the bookshelf of anyone with a serious interest in contemporary espionage and intelligence.
