How The Cold War Began The Igor Gouzenko Affair And The Hunt For Soviet Spies Amy Knight by Amy Knight 9780786718160, 0786718161 instant download after payment.

Draws on newly declassified intelligence files to examine one of the twentieth century's most influential spy cases as well as its role in generating the Cold War, discussing the defection of a cipher clerk who revealed a Soviet espionage network in North America less than a month after the atomic bombing of Japan.
On
September 5, 1945, cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko severed ties with the
Soviet Embassy in Ottawa, reporting to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
allegations of extensive Soviet espionage in North America, providing
stolen documents detailing Soviet intelligence matters to back his
claims. This action sent shockwaves through Washington, London, Moscow,
and Ottawa, changing the course of the twentieth century. Using recently
declassified FBI and Canadian RCMP files on the Gouzenko case, author
and Cold War scholar Amy Knight sheds new light on the FBI's efforts to
incriminate Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White in order to discredit the
Truman Administration. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover seized upon Gouzenko's
defection as a means through which to demonize the Soviets, distorting
statements made by Gouzenko to stir up "spy fever" in the U.S., setting
the McCarthy era into motion. Through the FBI files and interviews with
several key players, Knight delves into Gouzenko's reasons for defecting
and brilliantly connects these events to the strained relations between
the Soviet Union and the West, marking the beginning of the Cold War.
