The defection of Igor Gouzenko in September 1945, more so than any
other single event, alerted the West to the nature and scale of the
Soviet espionage offensive being waged by the Kremlin. Apart from
the dozen or so defendants convicted of spying, Gouzenko wrecked an
organization that had taken years to develop, exposed the
penetration of the Manhattan atomic weapons project, and
demonstrated the very close relationship between the Canadian
Communist Party and Moscow. Many credit this event as sparking the
bitter but secretive struggle fought between the intelligence
agencies of the East and West for nearly half a century. The
Historical Dictionary of Cold War Counterintelligence tells the
story of both sides' fierce efforts to penetrate and subvert the
opponent while desperately trying to avoid a similar fate. Through
a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and
hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the
organizations, operations, events, and personalities that
influenced counterintelligence during the Cold War, the world of
double agents, spies, and moles is explained in the most
comprehensive reference currently available.
