BATVINIS RAYMOND J
Hoover's Secret War Against Axis Spies: Fbi Counterespionage During World War II
University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2014. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The world was at war America precariously poised on the sidelines. But already a second secret war was well underway. While he fought on the home front to consolidate the FBI's intelligence gathering power J. Edgar Hoover was conducting an all-out campaign to make his agency America's first foreign espionage service�a campaign that would lead to an uneasy alliance with British intelligence in a brilliantly successful operation to undermine Germany. Taking up the tale begun in his acclaimed Origins of FBI Counterintelligence FBI historian and former agent Raymond Batvinis mines a wealth of heretofore untapped resources to expose Hoover's remarkable connivances and accomplishments in concert�and occasionally contention�with the Allies in outsmarting German intelligence. Hoover's Secret War opens up a world of spy rings secret and double agents surveillance codes and ciphers wire taps microdots mail drops invisible ink radio transmissions and deception and disinformation as it tracks the warring nations spreading their intelligence tentacles throughout Europe and North and South America. As it documents the rocky evolution of the FBI's relationship with Britain's vaunted MI5 and MI6 the book brings to light the feud between Hoover and Williams Stephenson director of the British Secret Intelligence Service's U.S. operation. Batvinis reveals how the agency gained access to ULTRA intelligence. He uncovers eye-opening details of the FBI's participation in the famed "Double-Cross System which effectively "turned" German agents against the Fatherland among them a flamboyant larger-than-life playboy a world famous French flyer and a lecherous Dutchman. Batvinis tells for the first time how the Bureau manipulated these agents and how it transmitted deceptive information critical to the Normandy landings the Allied invasion of the Marshall Islands and the atomic bomb program among other matters. Rich with secrets and surprises worthy of the finest spy fiction this true story of espionage and counterintelligence gives us our first clear look at the secret second world war and a significant moment in history. 24 photographs. "J. Edgar Hoover's FBI had a busy Second World War. There were vicious battles against Britain's MI-6 America's OSS the War Department and grasping double agents. Then there were the Germans and the Japanese. Raymond Batvinis recounts this history with the insight of someone who has himself been in the game. . . . an important contribution to the literature."�Mark E. Stout Director of Global Security Studies Johns Hopkins University and former Historian International Spy Museum "Hoover's War is a well-researched investigation into a little known aspect of American intelligence in the Second World War. Every chapter breaks new ground. It will be a welcome addition to the book shelves of all intelligence historians."�David Alvarez author of Secret Messages: Codebreaking and American Diplomacy 1930-1945 and Spies in the Vatican: Espionage and Intrigue from Napoleon to the Holocaust "A welcome addition to the literature on both the FBI and the World War II era Batvinis's book provides new information about how FBI counterintelligence and counterespionage operations against Nazi Germany during World War II transformed the FBI's culture and capabilities."�Athan Theoharis author of The FBI and American Democracy: A Brief Critical History RAYMOND J. BATVINIS former Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI and Executive Director of the J. Edgar Hoover Foundation is the author The Origins of FBI Counter-intelligence also from Kansas.

JACOBY SUSAN
Alger Hiss And The Battle For History
Yale University Press New Haven: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2009 in the American History category David Greenberg Washington Post Book World Books on Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss abound as countless scholars have labored to uncover the facts behind Chambers's shocking accusation before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the summer of 1948�that Alger Hiss a former rising star in the State Department had been a Communist and engaged in espionage. In this highly original work Susan Jacoby turns her attention to the Hiss case including his trial and imprisonment for perjury as a mirror of shifting American political views and passions. Unfettered by political ax-grinding the author examines conflicting responses from scholars and the media on both the left and the right and the ways in which they have changed from 1948 to our present post-Cold War era. With a brisk engaging style Jacoby positions the case in the politics of the post-World War II era and then explores the ways in which generations of liberals and conservatives have put Chambers and Hiss to their own ideological uses. An iconic event of the McCarthy era the case of Alger Hiss fascinates political intellectuals not only because of its historical significance but because of its timeless relevance to equally fierce debates today about the difficult balance between national security and respect for civil liberties. Susan Jacoby is an independent scholar and best-selling author. The most recent of her seven previous books is The Age of American Unreason. She lives in New York City.

In Spying for Hitler John Humphries sets the record straight showing that in fact Welsh nationalists deliberately infiltrated German military intelligence�and were instrumental in the creation of MI5's Double-Cross System which has been credited with controlling every German agent sent to Britain. "A John le Carr-style spy thriller with a difference�it's all true! John Humphries lifts the lid on the enduring suspicion that Welsh nationalists spied for Germany during the Second World War. Hitler promised home rule if Wales helped the Nazis to win. A retired Swansea police inspector was recruited to sabotage the British war effort; a U-boat was sent to land explosives on a secluded beach; and three Cuban saboteurs arrived aboard a fishing boat. Spying for Hitler even has a twist in the end. Humphries a former newspaper editor has applied his undoubted journalistic skills to solving one of the outstanding mysteries of the last war one that cast a dark shadow over a resurgent nationalist movement. A gripping read meticulously pieced together from MI5 and German military intelligence sources." --Terry Breverton University of Wales Press: 2012 paperback

MORLEY JEFFERSON; SCOTT MICHAEL FOREWORD
Our Man In Mexico: Winston Scott And The Hidden History Of The Cia
University Press of Kansas Lawrence: . Softcover. Brand new book. Mexico City was the Casablanca of the Cold War�a hotbed of spies revolutionaries and assassins. The CIA's station there was the front line of the United States' fight against international communism as important for Latin America as Berlin was for Europe. And its undisputed spymaster was Winston Mackinley Scott. Chief of the Mexico City station from 1956 to 1969 Win Scott occupied a key position in the founding generation of the Central Intelligence Agency but until now he has remained a shadowy figure. Investigative reporter Jefferson Morley traces Scott's remarkable career from his humble origins in rural Alabama to wartime G-man to OSS London operative and close friend of the notorious Kim Philby to right-hand man of CIA Director Allen Dulles to his remarkable reign for more than a decade as virtual proconsul in Mexico. Morley also follows the quest of Win Scott's son Michael to confront the reality of his father's life as a spy. He reveals how Scott ran hundreds of covert espionage operations from his headquarters in the U.S. Embassy while keeping three Mexican presidents on the agency's payroll participating in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and most intriguingly overseeing the surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald during his visit to the Mexican capital just weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy. Morley reveals the previously unknown scope of the agency's interest in Oswald in late 1963 identifying for the first time the code names of Scott's surveillance programs that monitored Oswald's movements. He shows that CIA headquarters cut Scott out of the loop of the agency's latest reporting on Oswald before Kennedy was killed. He documents why Scott came to reject a key finding of the Warren Report on the assassination and how his disillusionment with the agency came to worry his longtime friend James Jesus Angleton legendary chief of CIA counterintelligence. Angleton not only covered up the agency's interest in Oswald but also after Scott died absconded with the only copies of his unpublished memoir. Interweaving Win Scott's personal and professional lives Morley has crafted a real-life thriller of Cold War intrigue�a compelling saga of espionage that uncovers another chapter in the CIA's history.

Random House New York: 2001. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. Inscribed by the author. 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 Rosenberg's 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-law's fate. After serving ten years in prison he was released in 1960 and vanished. But Sam Roberts a New York Times editor found David Greeglass and after fourteen years finally persuaded him to talk. Includes an Index. "The Brother is a remarkable achievement: lucid amazingly fair-minded unsparing in its description of all the players in the case.

CRIME
An 1861 Letter from Woman to Her Sister Describing Events Related to the Civil War and Brutal Axe Murder
2pg. 9 ½" x 8 ½". June 4th 1861. Whitehall. A letter that discusses events linked to the Civil War and a particularly gruesome axe murder: ". It is hard times for certain as so many of the banks have gone down since the Government troubles all banks that were secured by southern bonds are smashed. Alfred Worcester has enlisted in the Army. A horrible murder was committed three weeks ago last Saturday two miles above Wilmington and about eight miles from here. An old man by the name of mace his wife and an adopted son 17 or 18 years old wer sic the victims. Two men were riding along the road about half a mile distant from the house when they heard cries of help and upon arriving at the house ther sic lay the old man near the gate shot and also cut with an ax near the porch lay the boy with his brains beat out with a club the old lady was lying on the porch with her head severed from her body with an ax. The house was burning the beds having been set afire in the upper story. It was known that the old man had a great amount of money which he kept in a safe in the house the safe was iron but could not be found after the house was burned. Intense excitement prevailed until the murderers were caught or supposed murderers. Nothing else was talked of for a great while. ". It is difficult to discern which Wilmington and Whitehall are referred to in the letter as a number of towns in the U.S. bear those names. A reference to army worms earlier in the letter makes it more likely that the author lived in a Whitehall in the North as army worms tend to attack crops in Northern states. The letter is in excellent condition. The left right and bottom margins are all rounded giving the letter the appearance of a circle with an arc section removed. There is some slight staining and the usual mailing folds unknown

PHILBY KIM; KNIGHTLEY PHILLIP INTRODUCTION; GREENE GRAHAM FOREWORD
My Silent War
The Modern Library New York: 2002. Softcover. Good condition. In the annals of espionage one name towers above all others: that of H.A.R. "Kim" Philby the ringleader of the legendary Cambridge spies. A member of the British establishment Philby joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1940 rose to the head of Soviet counterintelligence and as M16's liaison with the CIA and the FBI betrayed every secret of Allied operations to the Russians fatally compromising covert actions to roll back the Iron Curtain in the early years of the Cold War. Written from Moscow in 1967 My Silent War shook the world and introduced a new archetype in fiction: the unrepentant spy. It inspired John le Carr's Smiley novels and the later espionage novels of Graham Greene. Kim Philby was history's most successful spy. He was also an exceptional writer who gave us the great iconic story of the Cold War and revolutionized in the process the art of espionage writing. Includes an Index. "To this day I am convinced that was not the ideologue. Spying was just his way of being above lesser mortals." - Nigel West ISBN: 0375759832. The Modern Library, New York: 2002 paperback

RAVIV DAN: MELMAN YOSSI
Every Spy A Prince
Houghton Mifflin Boston: 1990. Softcover. Good condition. The Israeli secret service's exalted reputation declined in 1973 with Mossad's failure to foresee the Yom Kippur War setting off bitter and demoralizing feuds among the country's intelligence agencies such as Shin Bet and Aman and was further complicated by a succession of scandals in the 1980s that included the Jonathan Pollard and Mordechai Vananu arrests. Basing their work on interviews with former operatives and on declassified documents CBS news correspondent Dan Raviv and Israeli journalist Yossi Melman here produce a revealing critical history of the rise and decline of Israel's vaunted security and intelligence arm from the idealistic pioneering days to the current disarray in the face of the Palestinian Intifada and the shocking vulnerability of the intelligence community to material corruption. In today's Israel claim the authors of this controversial book "making money has become a Golden Calf before which much of society - including its intelligence and military circles - kneels. Contains an Index. ISBN: 0395581206. Houghton Mifflin, Boston: 1990 paperback
