  • Spying on Ecuador's Left

    Open AccessRichard H ImmermanARTICLEDiplomatic History2022

    The CIA in Ecuador’s title may put off some SHAFR members. Do we need a book on the CIA’s interference in every Latin American country? And hasn’t our scholarship moved beyond the “United States and ...” paradigm? Likewise puzzling is the book’s publication in Duke’s esteemed American Encounters/Global Interactions series edited by Gilbert Joseph and Penny Von Eschen. The title seems too narrow to fit well. The author changes the calculus. Marc B…

  • Tradecraft, the Piab, and the 2007 NIE on Iran’s Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities

    Richard H ImmermanARTICLEIntelligence & National Security2021

    The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s Office of Analytic Integrity and Standards (AIS) conducted a rigorous evaluation of the tradecraft underlying the 2008 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran’s Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities. AIS’s director and senior officials from several IC elements briefed the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) on the findings in order to demonstrate that the NIE manifested the Intel…

  • Grand Improvisations

    Open AccessRichard H Immerman, Richard ImmermanARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly2019

    The title of Derek Leebaert’s sprawling book signals its intent to depart from orthodoxy. Missing are allusions to a “Special Relationship,” Britain’s retreat from Empire, or even the Cold War. The concept of America confronting a superpower other than the Soviet Union is jarring. By titling his book in such an iconoclastic way, Leebaert will provoke some readers to read another book on Anglo-American relations in the aftermath of World War II. T…

  • Intelligence and the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars

    Open AccessRichard H ImmermanARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly2016

    COMMENTING IN 1950 ON THE ACCURACY OF intelligence reports and assessments that the U.S. public expected the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to produce, newly appointed director Walter Bedell Smith purportedly remarked that Americans “expect you to be on a communing level with God and Joe Stalin, and I’m not sure they are so much interested in God.”1 Smith exaggerated, but not by much. Americans’ expectations (both within and beyond t…

    The years since September 11, 2001, have been heady ones for historians of U.S. foreign relations. Enrollments in our courses have exploded, and we have been eagerly sought after by the media. Our expertise in things past evidently provides us with the credentials to provide expert commentary on the present. This problematic relationship notwithstanding, for those of us who write about policymakers and policymaking, the events of the recent past …

    Robert R Bowie, Richard H ImmermanBOOKWaging peace1998

    Waging Peace offers the first fully comprehensive study of Eisenhower’s “New Look” program of national security, which provided the groundwork for the next three decades of America’s Cold War strategy. Though the Cold War itself and the idea of containment originated under Truman, it was left to Eisenhower to develop the first coherent and sustainable strategy for addressing the issues unique to the nuclear age. To this end, he designated a decis…

    This is the most comprehensive, perceptive, and nuanced review to date of the foreign policy of the Lyndon Johnson era. It demonstrates US concern not just with the Soviet Union, Europe, and nuclear weapons issues, but the overwhelming preoccupation with Vietnam which shaped policy throughout the world. During this period, Johnson also faced a series of emergencies ranging from turmoil in the Congo, to war in the Middle East, to a perceived commu…
