Other items brought to our attention:

Seventy Years of Chinese Strategic Intelligence Threats
Presentation by Professor Emeritus Kenneth E. deGraffenreid (of the Institute of World Politics). deGraffenreid is former White House Senior Director of Intelligence and Security Programs on the National Security Council.
In 1949, to the surprise of Americans who had hoped that WWII had marked the end of world conflicts, the Soviet Union exploded a nuclear weapon Identical to the bomb the US had dropped on Nagasaki. It was identical because the bomb's nuclear technology had been stolen through massive espionage by America's Russian communist wartime ally. Thus the calculus of power that overshadowed the new conflict—nuclear weapons and strategic intelligence operations—set the strategic framework of the fifty-year Cold War conflict.

Also in 1949, the People's Republic of China began pursuing a similar hegemonic course, also relying on stolen nuclear weapons designs and strategic intelligence activities. Just as an aggressive Soviet Union was unwilling to accept either the American position as the world power or even peaceful standards of international behavior, so too does the PRC appear intent on replacing America as the sole remaining superpower in the twenty-first century.

deGraffenreid's presentation reviews key developments in these Chinese efforts and where US policy stands today at the current crossroads in US policy towards the PRC. Click on image above or here to view 90 minute presentation.

At the behest of the UK's MI-6 and a CIA operative (Rachel Brosnahan), he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet GRU officer Colonel Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze) who was seeking to provide crucial intelligence to the west needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis. A really good period movie with moments of brilliance and intrigue!! 84% on RT. View official trailer here.

The Arkin Group's April 2 "In Other News" letter to private clients by former Operations Officer Jack Devine features...

• China's refusal to provide earlier, more transparent access to data to World Health Organization investigators appears to be strengthening suspicions that Covid-19 was the result of a leak from a Chinese lab, rather than transmission from animal to human in a market, as both China and the WHO have asserted.
• Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is facing increased criticism for his handling of the pandemic from the public and Brazil's former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – who now seems likely to run against Bolsonaro in 2022.
• Italy has expelled two Russian diplomats over espionage charges, alleging that they paid an Italian defense official, Walter Biot, ~$5,800 for classified documents. Police separately recovered NATO documents that they believe Biot gave them on a previous occasion.
• Recently released was Jack Devine's Spymaster's Prism. AFIO's interview with him about this book appears in this issue at top of right column of this issue of the WINs. You can view the video at this link. Or hear the podcast here.

Newly Released, Overlooked, or Forthcoming Books

America's Covert Border War: The Untold Story of the Nation's Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration
by Todd Bensman
(Bombardier Books, Feb 2021)

This book finally settles one of the nation's most controversial and politically powerful ideas about the American southern border: that Islamic jihadists might infiltrate it and commit terrorist acts. Perhaps no other idea about the border has sown more conflict, claims, counterclaims, rebuttals, and false narratives on all sides.

Bensman provides a comprehensive neutral baseline of truth about the threat, goring oxen on both sides of the partisan divide. It documents an ambitious and intrigue-laden covert American war on terror that stretches from the Mexican border to the tip of South America. Its existence to protect the homeland from terrorist infiltration was often regarded as entirely imagined—until migrating jihadists recently started killing and wounding hundreds in Europe.

Americans concerned by unchecked global migration, porous borders, and national security also may feel surprised to learn that thousands of long-haul migrants from the Islamic world similarly breach the US-Mexican border each year—among them hardened jihadists—despite media insistence that none of this traffic exists.

The secret American campaign has prevented land border infiltration attacks on US soil, safeguarding a nation which is currently being lied to by the media that all claims and fears of "terrorists coming over the southern border" is untrue. But this crucial, long hidden, geographically sprawling effort is suffering from social and political denialism and neglect at America's own peril…just as Europe was before its calamity. How much longer can these programs keep America safe without the public recognition that they exist and the needed care and attention that acknowledgment would bring? This book is much more than revelation and complaint; it provides solutions to better protect the homeland from this chronically misunderstood border threat.

"Amidst multiple international crises, most of the media has lost sight of the jihadi threat to America. Todd Bensman is a welcome exception. His investigative reporting on continuing terrorist attempts to infiltrate the United States deserves wide attention from specialists and the general public alike." —Clifford D. May, Founder and President, The Foundation for Defense of Democracies

National Security, Leaks and Freedom of the Press: The Pentagon Papers Fifty Years On
by Geoffrey R. Stone, Lee C. Bollinger, editors
(Oxford Univ Press, Apr 2021)

One of the most vexing and perennial questions facing any democracy is how to balance the government's legitimate need to conduct its operations-especially those related to protecting the national security-in secret, with the public's right and responsibility to know what its government is doing. There is no easy answer to this issue, and different nations embrace different solutions. In the US, at the constitutional level, the answer begins exactly half a century ago with the Supreme Court's landmark 1971 decision in the Pentagon Papers case. The final decision, though, left many important questions unresolved. Moreover, the issue of leaks and secrecy has cropped up repeatedly since, most recently in the Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning cases. In National Security, Leaks and Freedom of the Press, two of America's leading First Amendment scholars, Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone, have gathered a group of the nation's leading constitutional scholars—including John Brennan, Eric Holder, Cass R. Sunstein, and Michael Morell, among many others—to delve into important dimensions of the current system, to explain how we should think about them, and to offer as many solutions as possible.

Nuclear Folly: A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy
(W. W. Norton & Company, Apr 2021)

Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must relearn the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban missile crisis.

Harvard history professor Serhii Plokhy offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, which involved John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. Plokhy vividly recounts the young JFK being played by the canny Khrushchev; the hotheaded Castro willing to defy the USSR and threatening to align himself with China; the Soviet troops on the ground clearing jungle foliage in the tropical heat, and desperately trying to conceal nuclear installations on Cuba, which were eventually spotted by U-2 spy planes; and the hair-raising near misses at sea that nearly caused a Soviet nuclear-armed submarine to fire its weapons.

More often than not, the Americans and Soviets misread each other, operated under false information, and came perilously close to nuclear catastrophe. Despite these errors, nuclear war was ultimately avoided for one central reason: fear, and the realization that any escalation on either the Soviets' or the Americans' part would lead to mutual destruction.

Drawing on a range of Soviet archival sources, including previously classified KGB documents, as well as White House tapes, Plokhy masterfully illustrates the drama and anxiety of those tense days, and provides a way for us to grapple with the problems posed in our present day.

Cold War Frequencies: CIA Clandestine Radio Broadcasting to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe
by Richard H. Cummings
(McFarland, Mar 2020)

The history of the CIA's clandestine short-wave radio broadcasts to Eastern Europe and the USSR during the early Cold War. Chapters describe the "gray" broadcasting of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty in Munich; clandestine or "black" radio broadcasts from Radio Nacional de Espana in Madrid to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine; transmissions to Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Ukraine and the USSR from a secret site near Athens; and broadcasts to Byelorussia and Slovakia. Infiltrated behind the Iron Curtain through dangerous air drops and boat landings, CIA and other intelligence service agents faced counterespionage, kidnapping, assassination, arrest and imprisonment. Excerpts from broadcasts taken from monitoring reports of Eastern Europe intelligence agencies are included.

Request for Assistance Researching Clandestine Maritime Operation in Da Nang 1950s-1970s

"My old Master Chief, James "Jim" Gray and I wrote the first history of Naval Special Warfare Combatant Craft (WARBOATS, 55 Years of Naval Special Warfare Combatant Craft History) for our veterans organization the Combatant Craft Crewman Association (CCCA), now in its second printing. One of the areas that we wanted to explore in greater depth were the clandestine maritime operations based in Da Nang from the South Vietnamese and CIA period through Switchback and Military Assistance Command Vietnam-Studies and Observation Group (MACV-SOG) control and the final the American withdrawal.
We are looking for assistance with this research in particular on the CIA side, as much of the MACV-SOG documentation has been declassified and we have spoken with the SEALs and Boat Support Unit One men of Mobile Support Team 1 and the Mobile Repair Team. Our Norwegian colleague, Jan Tore Nilsen is a Senior Reserve Commander in the Norwegian Navy is researching Norwegian involvement in Vietnam and has interviewed the surviving Norwegian contractors and obtained documents and photos from them as well as obtained documents regarding acquisition and construction of the Norwegian PTF (Patrol Torpedo Fast) boats for operations in Vietnam. An old friend of mine who was an historian for the CIA suggested we contact AFIO and ask for assistance. We would greatly appreciate any assistance from AFIO members."

She was commissioned as a Lieutenant JG in the Navy JAG (Judge Advocate General) Corp in 1978. Her first port of call was Subic Bay, Philippines serving in the NAVAL Legal Service Offices. From 1979-1980, she was posted in San Diego, CA first as staff JAG and second at ComAswing PAC (Command Anti-Submarine Warfare Wing Pacific). From 1981 to 1983, she was assigned to Naples, Italy as NLSO (Naval Legal Service Officer).
She retired from the Navy as a Commander in 1983 to join the CIA as a Security Officer and moved to Washington, DC. She completed three TDY tours in Iraq. She retired from the CIA in 2010 and became a Special Security Officer contractor at the US Department of State and focused on developing regulations for handling classified information until she retired in 2014. After 30 years, she left the DC area and moved first to San Diego, CA and then later to Indian River Colony Club in Viera, FL.
Kathleen was a world traveler with her favorite places being Uzbekistan; Botswana; Naples, Italy; Frankfort, Germany; China; The Philippines, Europe in general, and San Diego. She loved cats and was a prolific reader and bird watcher.

In November 2014, she was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn't until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought international attention to the disease. Military veterans are twice as likely to develop ALS as those who haven't served.
She is survived by a brother and other family.

Gordon Liddy, FBI Special Agent, Lawyer, White House Aide, Political Operative

George Gordon Liddy, 90, FBI Special Agent, Lawyer, White House Aide, Political Operative, died 30 March 2021.
Gordon was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Hoboken and West Caldwell, NJ. He attended St. Benedict's Preparatory School in nearby Newark and earned a BA at Fordham University, graduating in 1952. After serving two years as an artillery officer in the US Army, he returned to Fordham to study Law. He graduated as a member of the Fordham Law Review in 1957. In September of 1957, he was sworn in as a Special Agent of the FBI and served under J. Edgar Hoover. At age 29, he became the youngest Special Agent in Charge in the history of the Bureau. He left the Bureau to practice law in Manhattan. It was not long before the urge for government service took him to Dutchess County, NY as a prosecutor. In 1966, he arrested Timothy Leary, the famed "counter-culture" guru (the two later became friends). Gordon ran for Congress in 1968, lost a very close primary, but drew the attention of House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford, who recommended him to the Nixon campaign. Nixon's victory brought him to D.C. where he served as the Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury and later as a White House Aide. In November, 1971, the White House Counsel asked Liddy to design and run an intelligence operation for the 1972 Re-election campaign. To do so, Liddy would have to leave the government. He took a position at the Committee to Re-Elect the President . . . the result was what has come to be known as "Watergate." Liddy refused to cooperate with prosecutors and remained silent throughout the many investigations and trials, infuriating prosecutors and Judge Sirica. Liddy was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter ended the stand-off by ordering clemency, commuting Liddy's sentence. In September, Liddy was reunited with his family.
He had no regrets and took responsibility for his own actions. Unsure of his professional future, he was surprised, and blessed, to learn how many Americans admired his strength and determination to live by his principles, even as many others disagreed with him. For the next 32 years, he was a presence in America's political and cultural conversations. His 1980 autobiography became a bestseller, and as an author and lecturer he relished the opportunity to share his experiences and ideas with America's college students. He had the greatest respect for the men and women who choose to serve in America's armed forces and insisted that his public speaking contract had a clause, when he was asked to speak at West Point, The Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy or the Coast Guard Academy there would be no fee, he paid the agency fee out of his own pocket.
In the 1990s he launched a nationally syndicated radio show, providing him with the privilege of sharing ideas, stories and lessons with Americans for an additional 21 years on over 300 radio stations. As an author, lecturer, actor and radio talk show host, he again served his country, made a handsome living and having a lot of fun, often "agreeing to disagree." For that opportunity, he was deeply grateful to the People of the greatest country on earth, the USA. Family and friends are invited to Gordon's Life Celebration on 8 April 2021, 4 to 7 p.m. at the Darrow Funeral Home, 39 South Hamilton St, Poughkeepsie, NY and funeral Mass on 9 April at 10 a.m. at St. Mary's Church at 231 Church Street in Poughkeepsie. Burial service to follow at St. Peter's Cemetery, 147 Salt Point Road, Poughkeespie, NY. COVID protocols will be followed at all venues.
He is survived by a sister, by two daughters and three sons, and other family.

She was born in Clio, MI. She was a graduate of Powers Catholic High School in Flint where her extroverted personality was well-suited to her drill team and thespian activities; she was also an avid photographer. After graduating from Powers, she next attended Northern Michigan University where she graduated Cum Laude in 1978 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice.

In this capacity, Ms. White-Harvey served at CIA Headquarters in Langley, VA, deployed on temporary duty to Kabul, Afghanistan, and completed separate overseas assignments with her husband in Vienna, Austria, and Vilnius, Lithuania.
Aside from her official responsibilities in Lithuania, Ms. White-Harvey volunteered to lead a partnership of local diplomats, the business community, and Lithuanian government officials to bring 1000 orphans from all over the country to the National Ballet Theatre in Vilnius for a special Christmas celebration, complete with gift packages for all and a visit by Santa Claus. Her efforts helped to bring needed attention to the circumstances of orphans in Lithuania. Ms. White-Harvey received many awards throughout her lengthy Army/DIA/CIA career, and she retired from Federal Service in 2015.
Coleen enjoyed gardening and photography throughout her adult life, and excelled at creating frames for her work.

Sunday, 11 April 2021, 2- 3:30 pm EDT - Virtual - Atomic Spy's Son: Discovering the Reality of Your Father's Secret Life by The Cold War Museum

Your dad is an atomic spy for the Soviets. You feel the strange tension in your family. You learn the truth with your research skills.
The Cold War Museum invites you to attend a presentation by Dr. Boria Sax on "Atomic Spy's Son: Discovering the Reality of Your Father's Secret Life."

It is many decades since the end of the Cold War, but many of the traumas and mysteries that it engendered are with us still. In this talk, drawing from his book Stealing Fire: Memoir of a Boyhood in the Shadow of Atomic Espionage,
Dr. Boria Sax will describe his discovery as an adult that many of the strange tensions in his family's life as he was growing up were due to his father's espionage for the Soviet Union.
He will talk about how to investigate anomalies in the past, as well as the often-difficult task of distinguishing between reasonable speculation and paranoid imaginings. This talk is presented in the hope of inspiring others to investigate and tell the Cold War stories in their families, for there are surely thousands of strange, interesting narratives that have yet to be told. We have enough distance from the Cold War that people need no longer feel afraid to ask questions. Memories of the Cold War are fading yet still fairly vivid. We have a unique chance to record stories of that era before they are lost forever.

Fee: $20. To attend, use this link.

Thursday, 15 April 2021, 7pm EDT - Zoom Webinar - Spy Writing in the Real World by The Hayden Center of George Mason University

The Intelligence Community has found itself making real world headlines in recent years, but spying has been a staple in fiction writing for decades. Both non-spies and former intel officers have crafted spy thrillers that have won critical and popular praise. What are the differences between writing spy novels with or without previous intelligence experience? What are the challenges of writing realistic spy fiction? How much creative license is needed to make it exciting? How much realism is sacrificed in the process? How do real life spies react to spy fiction? How different is their response to that of the broader public?
Join Hayden Center senior fellow David Priess as he talks with authors Alma Katsu, Karen Cleveland, and Brad Thor about spy writing in the real world and about their exciting new novels.
This Hayden Center presentation is being recorded for use on the GMU website and social media.
