Copeland, Miles ; [SIGNED] ; [Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt Jr's copy]
THE GAME PLAYER
London: Aurum. 1989. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Autograph; 8vo; ix 1 294 pages; Contents clean and secure in original brown cloth binding in very nice dustjacket; lower outer corner of front board bumped. Inscribed and Signed by the author on ffep -- "To Jay and Jonathan two Roosevelts / who I hope! can read between the / lines. / Love / Miles" The author was a friend and colleague of Kermit Roosevelt Jr. Miles Axe Copeland Jr. 1916 – 1991 was an American musician and Central Intelligence Agency CIA officer best known for his close personal relationship with Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser and his "controversial books on intelligence" including this The Game of Nations: The Amorality of Power Politics 1969 and The Game Player: Confessions of the CIA's Original Political Operative 1989. In his memoirs Copeland recounted his involvement in numerous covert operations including the March 1949 Syrian coup d'état and the 1953 Iranian coup d'état Operation Ajax. A conservative influenced by the ideas of James Burnham Copeland was associated with the American political magazine National Review. In a 1986 Rolling Stone interview he stated "Unlike The New York Times Victor Marchetti and Philip Agee my complaint has been that the CIA isn't overthrowing enough anti-American governments or assassinating enough anti-American leaders but I guess I'm getting old." Historian Hugh Wilford describes three key players involved in middle east matters at the time of the founding of the CIA in 1947: "The cousins . Kermit and Archie Roosevelt both grandsons of Theodore Roosevelt . and the third member of this … triangle … Miles Copeland … from Alabama—a very smart dynamic young man. The Roosevelts … took him under their wing and between them they led the American intelligence efforts in the Middle East." PROVENANCE: From the collection of Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt Jr. 1916 - 2000 was the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. He was a career intelligence officer who served in the Office of Strategic Services and was the mastermind of the Central Intelligence Agency's Operation Ajax which orchestrated the coup against Iran's democratically-elected Mohammed Mossadegh administration and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the Shah of Iran to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953 for the purpose of returning Western control of Middle Eastern oil supplies. Assigned to Egypt Roosevelt impressed his colleagues with Project FF which encouraged the Free Officers Movement to carry out a coup d'état in 1952 and Roosevelt developed close CIA links to the new leader Gamal Abdel Nasser. In Egypt under Allen Dulles Kim Roosevelt supervised the CIA's operation to undermine the popular General Neguib and encourage the rise to power of Gamul Abdul Nasser. Even before his decisive victory Nasser was communicating through Roosevelt to make a settlement with Great Britain. These back channel negotiations eventually produced the treaty signed in October 1954. Hugh Wilford: "Roosevelt Jr. had this notion of America forming an alliance with the Arab countries as they emerged from under the sway of Britain and France. He was very concerned with backing Arab nationalists in the region. He saw that as the best way of keeping it within the American orbit as the Cold War was gathering momentum." The Eisenhower administration including Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was initially quite sympathetic towards the Arabist agenda of Roosevelt's and his colleagues and willing to oppose Middle Eastern regimes seen "as backing the Soviet Union rather than the U.S." In discussing Roosevelt's role Wilford describes him as being among "the most important intelligence officers of their generation in the Middle East." The book is inscribed to Kermit's son Jonathan Roosevelt and his wife Jae.; Signed by Author . Aurum hardcover

Davidson, Basil ; [Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt, Jr]
Golden Horn
London: Jonathan Cape. 1952. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Autograph; Small 8vo; 336 pages; Contents clean and secure in original burgundy binding in dustjacket with some minor wear at spine ends and toning/spotting to rear panel. Original owner's name on ffep -- "Kim Roosevelt / Istanbul 1952" Written by one spy owned by another spy. In this thriller Davidson traces British and American agents attempting to penetrate communist governed Bulgaria. " . particularly focusing on the city of Istanbul formerly Byzantium and Constantinople. Davidson examines the strategic importance of this natural harbor as a nexus of trade culture and conflict analyzing how it shaped the development of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires." THE AUTHOR: From 1939 Davidson was a reporter for the London "Economist" in Paris while simultaneously working as an officer for Secret Intelligence Service SIS/MI-6 D Section sabotage. Davidson was sent to Budapest to establish a news service as cover for intelligence gathering. When the Nazi's invaded in April 1941 he fled to Yugoslavia but was captured by Italian forces in May then later released as part of a prisoner exchange. During the war years he was chief of the Special Operations Executive SOE Yugoslav Section in Cairo Egypt then became liaison officer with partisans in Liguria Italy. After the war Davidson was Paris correspondent for "The Times" "Daily Herald" "New Statesman" and the "Daily Mirror." He became a well known authority on African history focussing on the pre-colonial achievements of Africans the disastrous effects of the Atlantic Slave Trade the damage inflicted by European colonialism and the baleful effects of the Nation State in Africa.PROVENANCE: Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt Jr. 1916 - 2000 was the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. He was a career intelligence officer who served in the Office of Strategic Services and operated throughout the Near and Middle East for the CIA in the 1950s and 1960s. Kim Roosevelt visited Burma after the Japanese had been expelled. In Egypt under Allen Dulles Kim Roosevelt supervised the CIA's operation to undermine the popular General Neguib and encourage the rise to power of Gamul Abdul Nasser. Even before his decisive victory Nasser was communicating through Roosevelt to make a settlement with Great Britain. These back-channel negotiations eventually produced the treaty signed in October 1954. Nasser ascended and for the next decade Egypt's relations with the West moved along a sometimes rocky road. By 1965 relations had significantly deteriorated and Nasser was quite worried the CIA was plotting to assassinate him. After the Odell-Amin case broke the CIA began to look for "more West friendly" Egyptian elements. Their attention landed on the Muslim Brotherhood which according to Talcott Seelye "We thought of Islam as a counterweight to communism. We saw it as a moderate force and a positive one." In fact the CIA was spending millions of dollars on anti-Nasser operations including an extensive propaganda campaign. Roosevelt was also the mastermind of the Central Intelligence Agency's Operation Ajax which orchestrated the coup against Iran's democratically-elected Mohammed Mossadegh administration which installed General Fazlollah Zahedi in power and and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the Shah of Iran to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953 for the purpose of returning Western control of Middle Eastern oil supplies.; Signed by Notable Personage Related .
