Venona: Soviet Espionage and the American Response 1939-1957
Washington DC: National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency 1996. 450 pages. Venona was a 37-year U.S. and allied intelligence program to decipher read and exploit several thousand Soviet intelligence messages collected in the 1940s. The program revealed to Western analysts that Stalin's agents had succeeded in stealing plans for the atomic bomb and the extent of Soviet intelligence penetration of the West. The Venona program succeeded in breaking up many of the Soviet espionage networks in the U.S. and other countries and was declassified in July 1995. This book was issued in conjunction with an October 1996 conference on Venona for scholars and historians co-sponsored by the CIA and the NSA. It includes US Government documents outlining the U.S. response to Soviet espionage and 99 of the most significant and revealing Soviet messages translated by Venona. Clean. First Edition.

Cossack: Warrior Riders of the Steppes
New York New York U.S.A.: Sterling Pub Co Inc 1992. 144pp/illus. Cossacks were not an ethnic group but a warrior class who became the imperial shock troops of the Russian Tsar while still reserving the right to ply their bloody trade for the highest bidder or in their own interests. In between waging wars and pillaging the Cossacks evolved their much-admired democratic way of life but they suffered deeply during Russia's Bolshevik revolution and in the years following. This is a lavishly illustrated record of the history and culture of a unique 'people'. It begins with the origins of the Cossacks and follows their bloody history as they develop from outlaws and mercenaries into a warrior nation. Clean. 1st Printing. Cloth.
