The Presidency of Joseph R. Biden: A First Historical Assessment
Khrushchev and Kennedy
What are the risks to global security when a disrupter rises to lead a nuclear-armed superpower? Imagine a leader who publicly vows “to smash [adversaries] in the teeth”; or who issues an off-hand nuclear threat to a foreign adversary while talking to a group of school teachers, saying “we have rockets which can land precisely at a preset target 13,000 kilometers away. This, if you want, is a warning ....”1 Two generations ago the world’s most vo…
Khrushchev's Cold War: The Inside Story of an American Adversary
Manhunts: The Official Search for Notorious Nazis
The shadow of the nazi period is a long one, particularly in terms of the search for notorious Nazi criminals. The 1960 Israeli capture of Adolf Eichmann still fires the public imagination, due to the daring nature of the kidnapping and to the historic importance of Eichmann's trial. Also fervent in the public imagination are those Nazi figures of singular evil who disappeared after the war and who, unlike Eichmann, managed to escape justice enti…
U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis
This book is a direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Drawing upon many documents declassified under this law, the authors demonstrate what US intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some US corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. This book also reveal…
US Counterterrorism before Bin Laden
THE FINAL REPORT OF THE NATIONAL COMMISSION on terrorist attacks upon the United States (the 9/11 commission) focused on the history of US counterterrorism policy in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. The sense that one gets from much of the new literature on US efforts against terrorism is that what went on before 1998 was passive and reflected a belief that terrorism was more a criminal matter than an intelligence challenge. Curiou…
Counterterrorism in Retrospect: Chronicle of a War Foretold
Berlin to Baghdad: The Pitfalls of Hiring Enemy Intelligence
The Mystery of Heinrich Müller: New Materials from the CIA
In April 2001, the National Archives released twenty Central Intelligence Agency “Name Files” as part of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Many more such releases will follow. While all of the files contain items of interest to students of the Nazi period and the Cold War, the file for Hitler's Gestapo Chief, Heinrich Müller, is most interesting for what it does not contain. While it is impossible to say for certain how or even whether Mül…

One Hell of a Gamble: Khrushchev, Castro, and Kennedy, 1958-1964
No other book offers this inside look at the strategies of the Soviet leadership. John F. Kennedy did not live to write his memoirs; Fidel Castro will not reveal what he knows; and the records of the Soviet Union have long been sealed from public view: Of the most frightening episode of the Cold War--the Cuban Missile Crisis--we have had an incomplete picture. When did Castro embrace the Soviet Union? What proposals were put before the Kremlin th…
