Seller's Description:
Very good in Fair jacket. [8], 239, [1] pages. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ soiled at back with some damp stains at bottom 'inside and out". No impact observed to back cover. Dr. Vince Houghton is the former Historian and Curator of the International Spy Museum. As the museum? s subject matter expert, he was a key member of the team that created and developed the content, exhibits, and design of the new museum. Vince has a Ph.D. in Intelligence History, and is the author of two books? Nuking the Moon: and Other Intelligence Schemes and Military Plots Left on the Drawing Board and The Nuclear Spies: America's Atomic Intelligence Operation Against Hitler and Stalin. Dr. Houghton became the Director of the National Cryptologic Museum in Ft. Meade, MD. Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union's nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince Houghton, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the Manhattan Project's intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi 's plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong? Houghton's delightful retelling of this fascinating case of American spy ineffectiveness in the then new field of scientific intelligence provides us with a new look at the early years of the Cold War. During that time, scientific intelligence quickly grew to become a significant portion of the CIA budget as it struggled to contend with the incredible advance in weapons and other scientific discoveries immediately after World War II. As Houghton shows, the abilities of the Soviet Union's scientists, its research facilities and laboratories, and its educational system became a key consideration for the CIA in assessing the threat level of its most potent foe. Sadly, for the CIA scientific intelligence was extremely difficult to do well. For when the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb in 1949, no one in the American intelligence services saw it coming.
