The Craft of Intelligence

The Craft of Intelligence

Autor: Allen Dulles

Número de Páginas: 304

If the experts could point to any single book as a starting point for understanding the subject of intelligence from the late twentieth century to today, that single book would be Allen W. Dulles's The Craft of Intelligence. This classic of spycraft is based on Allen Dulles's incomparable experience as a diplomat, international lawyer, and America's premier intelligence officer. Dulles was a high-ranking officer of the CIA's predecessor--the Office of Strategic Services--and was present at the inception of the CIA, where he served eight of his ten years there as director. Here he sums up what he learned about intelligence from nearly a half-century of experience in foreign affairs. In World War II his OSS agents penetrated the German Foreign Office, worked with the anti-Nazi underground resistance, and established contacts that brought about the Nazi military surrender in North Italy. Under his direction the CIA developed both a dedicated corps of specialists and a whole range of new intelligence devices, from the U-2 high-altitude photographic plane to minute electronic listening and transmitting equipment. Dulles reveals much about how intelligence is collected and processed,...

For three years during World War II, future Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles commanded the OSS mission in Bern, Switzerland. From Hitler's Doorstep provides an annotated selection of his reports to Washington from 1942 to 1945. Dulles was a leading source of Allied intelligence on Nazi Germany and the occupied nations. The messages presented in this volume were based on information received through agents and networks operating in France, Italy, Austria, Eastern Europe, and Germany itself. They deal with subjects ranging from enemy troop strength and military plans to political developments, support of resistance movements, secret weapons, psychological warfare, and peace feelers. The Dulles reports reveal his own vision of grand strategy and presage the postwar turmoil in Europe. One of the largest collections of OSS records ever published, these telegrams and radiotelephone transmissions from the National Archives provide an exciting account of the course of the European war, offer insight on the development of American intelligence, and illuminate the origins of the Cold War. They will interest diplomatic and military historians as well as specialists on modern...

When he was appointed as the first civilian Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Allen Dulles had already lived a full life of diplomacy, law, politics, and international intrigue. During WWII, he served as the American OSS chief-of-station in Switzerland, running the most efficient and significant espionage operations of the entire war-from "Hitler's own backyard." In 1944, Dulles' was connected Operation Valkirie, the German plot to assassinate Hitler; and in 1945 he was a key player in Operation Sunrise, conducting secret negotiatiations with German commanders in Italy which ultimately led to their surrender.

The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War

Autor: Stephen Kinzer

Número de Páginas: 416

A joint biography of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, who led the United States into an unseen war that decisively shaped today's world During the 1950s, when the Cold War was at its peak, two immensely powerful brothers led the United States into a series of foreign adventures whose effects are still shaking the world. John Foster Dulles was secretary of state while his brother, Allen Dulles, was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In this book, Stephen Kinzer places their extraordinary lives against the background of American culture and history. He uses the framework of biography to ask: Why does the United States behave as it does in the world? The Brothers explores hidden forces that shape the national psyche, from religious piety to Western movies—many of which are about a noble gunman who cleans up a lawless town by killing bad guys. This is how the Dulles brothers saw themselves, and how many Americans still see their country's role in the world. Propelled by a quintessentially American set of fears and delusions, the Dulles brothers launched violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats to the United States. These campaigns helped push...

Stalin's American Spy

Stalin's American Spy

Autor: Tony Sharp

Número de Páginas: 425

Stalin's American Spy tells the remarkable story of Noel Field, a Soviet agent in the US State Department in the mid-1930s. Lured to Prague in May 1949, he was kidnapped and handed over to the Hungarian secret police. Tortured by them and interrogated too by their Soviet superiors, Field's forced 'confessions' were manipulated by Stalin and his East European satraps to launch a devastating series of show-trials that led to the imprisonment and judicial murder of numerous Czechoslovak, German, Polish and Hungarian party members. Yet there were other events in his very strange career that could give rise to the suspicion that Field was an American spy who had infiltrated the Communist movement at the behest of Allen Dulles, the wartime OSS chief in Switzerland who later headed the CIA. Never tried, Field and his wife were imprisoned in Budapest until 1954, then granted political asylum in Hungary, where they lived out their sterile last years. This new biography takes a fresh look at Field's relationship with Dulles, and his role in the Alger Hiss affair. It sheds fresh light upon Soviet espionage in the United States and Field's relationship with Hede Massing, Ignace Reiss and...

Even paranoids have enemies. Hitler's most powerful foes were the Allied powers, but he also feared internal conspiracies bent on overthrowing his malevolent regime. In fact, there was a small but significant internal resistance to the Nazi regime, and it did receive help from the outside world. Through recently declassified intelligence documents, this book reveals for the first time the complete story of America's wartime knowledge about, encouragement of, and secret collaboration with the German resistance to Hitler?including the famous July 20th plot to assassinate the Fuehrer.The U.S. government's secret contacts with the anti-Nazi resistance were conducted by the OSS, the World War II predecessor to the CIA. Highly sensitive intelligence reports recently released by the CIA make it evident that the U.S. government had vast knowledge of what was going on inside the Third Reich.

Autor: David Talbot

"Dulles's decades as the director of the CIA was a dark times in American politics. The spymaster saw himself as above the elected law, manipulating and subverting American presidents in the pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy elite he counted as his friends and clients - colluding with Nazi-controlled cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi in the process. Targeting foreign leaders for assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments not in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those same tactics to further his goals at home, culminating in the assassination of his political enemy, John F. Kennedy."--Back cover.

Autor: Frances Stonor Saunders

Número de Páginas: 654

Una historia apasionante de un sistema de mecenazgo clandestino que no tiene precedentes en la historia contemporánea. Durante la guerra fría los escritores y los artistas se enfrentaron a un gran reto. En la esfera soviética, se esperaba que produjeran obras que exaltaran la militancia, la lucha y un optimismo sin límites. En Occidente, la libertad de expresión era la virtud más preciada de las democracias liberales. Pero esa libertad tenía un precio. Este libro documenta el extraordinario vigor de una campaña secreta en la que algunos de los defensores más ardientes de la libertad de pensamiento en Occidente (entre otros, George Orwell, Bertrand Russell, Jean-Paul Sartre y Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.) fueron, lo supieran o no, instrumentos del servicio secreto estadounidense.

Said «Saunders es espléndida al contar las ironías éticas y políticas de los proyectos culturales de la CIA.» San Francisco Chronicle «Una historia de intriga y traición, con escenas tan emocionantes como las de cualquier novela de Le Carré.» The Chronicle of Higher Education «Escrita con gran sentido del humor y...
