            <description>In 1973, a gunman fired five shots into Colonel Joe Alon, a kind, unassuming Israeli Air Force pilot. As it turned out, Alon wasnt just a pilot and family man; he was a high-ranking Israeli military official and hero of the Israeli Air Force. The assassin was never found and the case was closed. As a counterterrorism special agent, Fred Burton reopened the case and pursued the killer.</description>

            <title>Capturing Jonathan Pollard : how one of the most notorious spies in American history was brought to justice
            by Olive, Ronald J.
            </title>
            <link>http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=655944</link>
            <pubDate></pubDate>
            <description>Over the course of eighteen months in the mid-1980s, Jonathan Jay Pollard, an intelligence analyst working in the U.S. Naval Investigative Services Anti-Terrorist Alert Center, systematically stole highly sensitive national security secrets from almost every major intelligence-gathering agency in the United States. He sold to Israel more than one million pages of classified material - enough to fill a six-by-ten foot room stacked six feet high. No other spy in the history of the United States has stolen so many secrets, so highly classified, in such a short period of time. Pollard was caught, arrested, and sentenced to life in prison. But because his case never went to trial - and so much of the information surrounding it remains classified - many questions have arisen about it. Most of the books and articles that have been written about Pollard denounces his life sentence as unjust. This is the other side of the story. Ronald J. Olive was the assistant special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the Washington office of the Naval Investigative Service who led the whirlwind investigation against Pollard, and garnered the confession that led to his arrest in November 1985. Here is Olives account from deep inside the espionage investigation that gives details of Pollards confession immediately following his arrest and describes Pollards behavior before and during the time suspicion about his activities was mounting. Revealed are countless other details that have never before been made public. Calling the Pollard story an extreme example of a counterintelligence failure, Olive writes that mistaken assumptions and leadership failures enabled Pollard to ransack Americas defense intelligence long after he should have been fired. The author hopes the vital insights his book offers will serve as a lesson in history, prevent similar problems in the future, and provide an antidote to the uncertainty that has fueled speculation, rumor, and lies surrounding the Pollard case.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>Incredibly, in the early 1960s, the CIA decided to put a nuclear-powered spy device on top of Nanda Devi - one of the Himalayas most remote and forbidding peaks. The goal was to gather information on Chinese troop movements. Some time later, the apparatus stopped sending signals; it was as though it had completely disappeared. The device was never recovered, and as you read these words, nearly four pounds of plutonium, locked in the glacier beneath the mountain, are moving ever closer to the source of the Ganges River. Thats enough manmade poison to kill every human on earth, or to produce a bomb capable of flattening a city. Takeda, an internationally recognized rock, ice, and alpine climber, not only interviewed surviving members of the original expedition - during which the climbers huddled around the spy device for the warmth given off by the decay of radioactive elements - he retraced their steps to the peak itself. An Eye at the Top of the World is both a dramatic history and harrowing present-day account of Takedas expedition to solve the mystery of Nanda Devi.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>No espionage case in recent decades has been anything like the Wen Ho Lee affair. As Dan Stober and Ian Hoffman describe in A Convenient Spy, an astonishingly inept investigation of a crime that may never have occurred ended in a national disgrace. A weapons-code scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lee was hunted as a spy for China, indicted of fifty-nine counts, and held in detention for nine months as a threat to the entire nation. But after pleading guilty to just one count, he went home - with an unusual and emotional apology from a federal judge. Prosecutors claims that Lee had stolen Americas crown jewels of nuclear security simply evaporated. Yet Lees motives have never been satisfactorily explained, and his often-repeated excuse that he was just backing up his work files does not stand up to scrutiny.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were tried for and convicted of conspiring to steal atomic secrets. In 1953, their execution tore America apart. Fifty years later, the acrimonious debate over the Rosenbergs guilt, and the raw emotions unleashed by a case that fueled McCarthyism and the cold war, still reverberate. One man doomed the Rosenbergs: David Greenglass, Ethel Rosenbergs brother, the young army sergeant who spied for the Soviets at Los Alamos during World War II and whose testimony later sealed his sister and brother-in-laws fate. After serving ten years in prison, he was released in 1960 and vanished. But Sam Roberts, a New York Times editor, found David Greenglass and, after fourteen years, finally persuaded him to talk. Drawn from the first unrestricted-access interviews ever granted by Greenglass and supplemented by revelations from dozens of other key players in the case - including the Russian agent who controlled Julius Rosenberg; by newly declassified American and Soviet government documents; and by personal letters never before published, among them one from Albert Einstein; The Brother is the mesmerizing inside story of misplaced idealism, love, and betrayal behind the atomic-espionage case that J. Edgar Hoover condemned as the Crime of the Century.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>At the beginning of the Cold War the United States conducted a secret air war against the Soviet Union. As the struggle began, these pilots were the pathfinders who flew into the unknown, seeking information on how the USSR might be preparing an attack on the West. Flown by a handful of U.S. and allied aircrews, these photographic and electronic intelligence-gathering missions were unknown to the world at large. The United States needed information on all aspects of the USSRs military and industrial strengths and weaknesses. This posed difficulties for U.S. intelligence. It was disorganized and divided, with limited resources compared to that of the World War II era. The USSR, its opponent, covered a huge land mass and was a police state whose reach extended into every Soviet home as well as various places around the world. Flying along the borders of the Soviet bloc was dangerous. If attacked by Russian MiG fighters, the converted bombers and transports used for these missions were virtually helpless. Many were shot down or simply disappeared, bringing capture, imprisonment, and death to the crews. Publicly these losses became all-hands-lost training accidents. Riskier yet were actual overflights of targets inside the Soviet bloc. The extreme danger of overflights led to the development of the famed U-2 spyplane, an aircraft that could fly higher than any other, foreign or domestic. While the downing of Francis Gary Powers blew the lid off the super-secret U-2 program and ended the overflights, the history of our aerial war against the Soviets remained cloaked in secrecy as the Cold War went into a deep freeze. In the tradition of the bestselling Blind Mans Bluff, author Peebles draws on previously top secret Soviet and U.S. documents, as well as the recollections of participants on both sides. The result is an intriguing and exciting history of this secret, and often very hot theater of the Cold War. Book jacket.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>No Espionage Missions have been kept more secret than those involving American submarines. Now, after six years of research, journalist Sherry Sontag and reporter Christopher Drew finally reveal the exciting, epic story of adventure, ingenuity, courage and disaster beneath the sea. Blind Mans Bluff shows for the first time how the Navy sent submarines wired with self-destruct charges into the heart of Soviet seas to tap crucial underwater telephone cables. Sontag and Drew unveil new evidence that the Navys own negligence might have been responsible for the loss of the USS Scorpion, a submarine that disappeared, all hands lost, thirty years ago. They disclose for the first time details of the bitter war between the CIA and the Navy and how it threatened to sabotage one of Americas most important undersea missions. They tell the complete story of the audacious attempt to steal a Soviet submarine with the help of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, and how it was doomed from the start. And Sontag and Drew reveal how the Navy used the comforting notion of deep sea rescue vehicles to hide operations that were more James Bond than Jacques Cousteau.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>He is the highest ranking American spy directly and personally involved in espionage, war, counterterrorism, and intrigue to make public his life. Dashing and flamboyant, with mettle akin to the granite for which his home state of New Hampshire is known, Duane Dewey Clarridge became a master spy right out of a Tom Clancy novel. In a spy for All Seasons, we follow Dewey Clarridge on his trajectory through the CIA. His no-holds-barred style carried him to Nepal, India, Turkey, Italy, Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, and beyond, in situations both terrifying and exhilarating. With legendary candor, Dewey describes the role he played in the international espionage scene: his days as Dax P. LeBaron, when he pressed Saddam Hussein to turn over a terrorist; the inner workings of the CIA; the creation of his brainchild, the CIAs Counter-Terrorist Center; his admiration for William Casey and his contempt for William Webster; and his alleged involvement in the Iran-contra affair, for which he was indicted and then pardoned. Along the way he developed a talent for recruiting foreign agents and smiled in the face of his enemies.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>In 1978, fresh out of Oxford, Timothy Garton Ash set out for Berlin to see what he could learn from the divided city about freedom and despotism. As he moved from west to east - from Berlin glamour to Berlin danger - the East German secret police, the so-called Stasi, was compiling a secret file on his activities, monitoring his Berlin days and nights and tracking his growing involvement with the Solidarity movement in Poland. Fifteen years later, with the wall torn down and Berlin now unified, Garton Ash visited Stasi headquarters to find his file. The thick dossier he was given forms the basis for this real-life thriller in which he traces and confronts the German friends and acquaintances who informed on him, and the officers who hired them. Behind Stasi reports of suspicious meetings we discover the love affairs, friendships, and formative intellectual encounters that actually occurred. And behind a baffling web of lies, half-truths, and forgotten stories we find a forty-year-old man spying on his younger self.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <pubDate></pubDate>
            <description>In a book that will force the revision of fifty years of scholarship and reporting on the Cold War, award-winning journalist Joseph Albright and Marcia Kunstel reveal for the first time a devastatingly effective Soviet spy network that infiltrated the Manhattan Project and ferried Americas top atomic secrets to Stalin. At the heart of the network was Hall, who was so secret an operative that even Klaus Fuchs, a fellow Manhattan Project scientist and Soviet agent, had no idea they were comrades. Bombshell tracks Hall from his days as brilliant schoolboy in New York City, when he came under the influence of his older brothers radical tracts, and on to Harvard, Los Alamos, and Chicago, where Hall continued to spy even after the war was over, passing more secrets while the Soviets were trying to build the hydrogen bomb. We meet Halls partners in espionage; his Harvard roommate Saville Sax, who received Halls messages in a code based on Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass; Morris and Lona Cohen, New York Communists who formed the core of the atomic espionage conspiracy; Yuri Sokolov, officially the Soviet Unions U.N. Mission press chief, unofficially a spy handler for Moscow Centre; Colonel Rudolf Abel, to his friends an artist-photographer, to his agents their illegal controller; and Anta and Aden, two as-yet-unidentified American atomic scientists brought into the Soviet network by Hall. Bombshell also tells the story of the U.S. Army code breakers and FBI sleuths who, in a thrilling game of cat and mouse, race to catch the unknown spy before it is too late. Drawing on previously classified documents, undercover sources, and years of research in Russia, England, and the United States, Bombshell reads like a classic spy novel, full of secret meetings, coded messages, and daring escapes. But it is much more than a terrifically exciting tale of conspiracy and subterfuge; Bombshell is a piece of historical detective work, revealing a spy network in detail.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>Here for the first time is the full story of the Cold Wars secret but very real war in which hundreds of combatants lost their lives. Long before Gary Powers U-2 spyplane was shot down over the USSR in 1960, an undeclared war was being fought in the stratosphere. This was the aerial espionage war between the West and the Soviet Union. Author Paul Lashmars research has uncovered top secret missions flown by US Air Force and Royal Air Force crews, deep into the Soviet Union. He has interviewed USAF and RAF participants, and the Red Air Force pilots that tried, sometimes successfully, to shoot them down. He has also discovered evidence of an alarming 1950s USAF plan to use these spy flights to provoke a nuclear World War Three which would have wiped the Soviet Union and China from the face of the earth. New evidence, both documentary and interview, from the former Soviet Union reveals the full extent of political tension created by the spyplane war. From 1950 over 40 Western aircraft were shot down and hundreds of air force officers died or remain missing. The book documents the hunt today for these Cold War MIAs (missing in action).--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>This is the true story of an American nuclear submarines desperate search for a nuclear-armed Soviet submarine lost in the depths of the north Pacific. Told by a sailor on board the U.S. spy sub, it reads like a techno-thriller, but the events recorded here actually happened. To this day - some twenty-eight years later - the U.S. Navy has never publicly admitted the operation took place. The mission remains so sensitive that it is still classified compartmentalized top secret. With slight technical modifications and name changes, however, Roger Dunhams story was cleared for publication by the Department of Defense. It offers the first eyewitness account of what the Pentagon calls one of the most successful military operations of the Cold War. Dunham brings readers into his submarine as the crew struggles to accomplish their mission in spite of flooding, emergency shutdowns of the nuclear reactor, depletion of uranium fuel, the loss overboard of a chief petty officer, and the mental breakdown of a crewman vital to the engine room. The ultimate success of this dangerous operation earned the crew the Presidential Unit Citation, presented in a top secret ceremony.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            </title>
            <link>http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=249874</link>
            <pubDate></pubDate>
            <description>Although documentation shows that the American Civil War was conducted in large part by amateurs, the activities of spies gained some unprecedented sophistication thanks to new technology - photography, telegraphs, and even hot air balloons. Donald E. Markle details the rapid advances in methods of covert communication via newspaper and telegraph, and their effects on the war front. Enemy newspapers, for instance, became a coveted asset for the spy. Spies often acted as newspaper couriers for their governments, or even provided a clipping service to swiftly convey information aiding military strategists and their supporters. In some rare but very effective cases, spies listened in on enemy communications and even acted as telegraphers for the enemy, distorting messages. Such activities prompted both the Union and Confederate forces to encode messages and develop cryptography skills. Markle brings to light the extensive participation of women in Civil War espionage. For the first time during an American war, women with a desire to take an active part in the war effort (in areas besides nursing) were able to spy on the enemy by relaying daily reports from the battlefields. This new phenomenon is due in part to the rapid movement of information; for the first time during a war, the civilian population received timely news of their armies, their losses, their victories, and their struggles. Information conveyed by both the Union and the Confederate spies was, inevitably, not always accurate. Markle details some of the havoc wreaked by the misinformed. Generals Van Dorn and Price, for example, experienced such misfortune when they were considering an attack on Corinth, Mississippi, in the fall of 1862. Based on the information of one of their spies, General Van Dorn grossly underestimated the number of Federal troops he faced. This miscalculation lead to a Confederate rout with a loss of over 5,000 of his 25,000 troops. Markle examines the spies overall impact on the outcome of the Civil War, as well as on the modern world of intelligence. Some of the risky spying methods conducted during the Civil War could only have been productive in that era. Others laid the groundwork for the sophisticated techniques of the 20th century. His account also carries most of the stories beyond the Civil War itself, and describes the difficulties and experiences of spies trying to acclimate to normal life, finding that some did and some did not.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>It was a scandal that provoked shock and disbelief - and inspired a long-running Broadway play. But the convicted spy at the center of the storm never told his side of the story...until now. When Bernard Boursicot, an innocent and charming twenty-year-old yearning for adventure and romance, was posted to the French embassy in Beijing, he met and soon fell in love with a mysterious, seductive opera singer named Shi Pei Pu. Over the course of the next eighteen years, the two lived out a passionate and dangerous liaison that produced a son, drew them into espionage, and ultimately landed them both in a French prison. The whole time, Boursicot was unaware that Pei Pu, the love of his life and his longtime sexual partner, was a man. How could this happen? How could he not know? These questions intrigued the world, making Boursicot the subject of incredulity and ridicule, and ultimately inspired an immensely popular Broadway hit, M Butterfly. But the speculation could not begin to rival the astonishing real story. To uncover the facts behind this sensational case, journalist Joyce Wadler spent three years researching court documents and psychiatrists files, interviewing relatives, friends, and co-workers of the pair, including a former prime minister of France. Most important of all, she persuaded Boursicot, who had refused to discuss his story since his arrest, to break his silence. For the first time Ms. Wadler explains - in explicit detail - exactly how the tantalizing creature described in international headlines as the Chinese Mata Hari was able to deceive Boursicot while playing the greatest role of her...his?...life. Even richer and more compelling than the fiction it inspired, Liaison is a true story of the inseparability of love and illusion.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>The warning from his West German handler was clear: You are in great danger! You must get out now! Double agent Werner Stiller carefully began planning his escape to the West. His world would soon change forever: either he would leave his homeland - or he would die. In the exciting tradition of William Hoods Mole, Beyond the Wall is the true story of a disillusioned East German superspy driven by his conscience to turn double agent for the West. Werner Stiller was a naive young student recruited into the Ministry of State Security - the powerful Stasi - to acquire nuclear weapon secrets in Western Europe in the 1970s. Before long, he learned firsthand that the Stasis powerful reach surpassed even the alarmists most Kafkaesque fears and that the East German security forces constituted a vast, privileged underground world based on fear and intimidation. A smash bestseller in Germany, it reveals the actual tools and methods spies use to do their work. Beyond the Wall is both a concise, intelligent, and pointed account of the once all-powerful Stasi and a uniquely personal window into the real world of highly successful espionage.--BOOK JACKET.</description>

            <description>The Green Beret murder case is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries and political cover-ups of the Vietnam War, a story that burst onto the front page of the New York Times and then suddenly disappeared into a fog of conflicting official explanations. In 1969, members of a top-secret Green Beret intelligence organization were arrested by the Army for the murder of a suspected North Vietnamese double agent. The officers thought they had killed the man with CIA approval, but now the CIA and the military were hanging them out to dry in one of the most bizarre homicide investigations in the history of the U.S. Army. Defense attorneys for the Berets, including the famed Edward Bennett Williams, soon learned of assassinations being carried out under the CIAs Operation Phoenix, and used that to attack the Army for its hypocritical prosecution of the men. The case became an epic, behind-closed-doors courtroom struggle between two West Pointers: Robert Rheault, a decorated Green Beret colonel from a prominent New England family, and Gen. Creighton Abrams, the supreme American commander in Vietnam. It pitted the Special Forces--tough, bright, unfettered by the past, the fighters of a new kind of war--against an Army establishment that proclaimed its opposition to terror and assassination. When back-channel messages reached Washington that the slain agents wife was making inquiries, top officials of the Pentagon and CIA jockeyed to avoid responsibility for the killing. But when a country lawyer ripped the lid off the case, it became an international sensation--and a heated debate on the floor of Congress over the morality of unconventional warfare. President Nixon finally stepped in to abort a trial that would have exposed worldwide CIA operations and the secret, illegal Cambodian bombings. But the governments handling of the case prompted Daniel Ellsberg to leak the Pentagon Papers, which changed the course of the war and led to Watergate. On one level, A Murder in Wartime is a fascinating tangle of espionage and intrigue, a detective story involving the highest officials of the American government. On another, it is a portrait of an era, a twilight time of fading innocence, when America had only begun to rethink its love affair with spies. Most of all, it is the personal story of eight men caught in a nightmare within a nightmare--a politically explosive murder trial in the middle of the Vietnam War.--BOOK JACKET.</description>
