From the 1930's to the 1950's a significant number of left-wing men
and women in the United States, Britain, Europe, Australia and
Canada were recruited to the Soviet intellgence services.
These people were amateurs, rather than professional intelligence
workers and the reason for their success is intriguing and has
never been satisfactorily explained.
Using recently released Soviet archives, this book seeks to explore
the foundations for these successes in the deliberately concealed
tradition of underground political activity which was part of the
communist movement. This tradition, which became extremely useful
to Soviet intelligence, also explains the origins of the
"tradecraft" of espionage. The book seeks to contribute to the
study of the causes of the early Cold War, by explaining how this
underground tradition lead to espionage.
This title shows that while allegations of disloyalty during the
Cold War were often part of a witch-hunt, the Left and their
liberal allies sometimes unwittingly had a number of skeletons in
their closet.
