The Pinochet File : A Declassified Dossier On Atrocity And Accountability

Attribution
Peter Kornbluh
Publication Details
Book, New Press, 2004
Description
When first published last year on the thirtieth anniversary of the Chilean coup, Peter Kornbluh’s The Pinochet File was hailed on the editorial page of the New York Times?no doubt to the aggravation of Henry Kissinger and all those who would deny the U.S. role in undermining Chilean democracy and supporting the advent of General Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship.

U.S. Intervention In British Guiana : A Cold War Story

Attribution
Stephen G. Rabe
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2005
Description
When the South American colony now known as Guyana was due to gain independence from Britain in the 1960s, U.S. officials in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations feared it would become a communist nation under the leadership of Cheddi Jagan, a Marxist who was very popular among the South Asian (mostly Indian) majority. Considering race, gender, religion, and ethnicity along with traditional approaches to diplomatic history, Rabe’s analysis of this Cold War tragedy serves as a needed corrective to interpretations that depict the Cold War as an unsullied U.S. triumph.

Treasonable Doubt : The Harry Dexter White Spy Case

Attribution
R. Bruce Craig
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
(Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Sifting through this mountain of evidence, Craig retraces White’s rise to power within the Treasury Department and confirms that White was involved in a species of espionage–but also shows that the same evidence contradicts Bentley’s charges of policy subversion.

No Ivory Tower : McCarthyism And The Universities

Attribution
Ellen W. Schrecker
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 1986
Description
Drawing on heretofore untouched archives and dozens of eprsonal interviews, Schrecker re-creates the climate of fear that pervaded American campuses and made the nation’s educational leaders worry about Communist subversion as well as about the damage that unfriendly witnesses might do to the reputations of their institutions. Noting that faculty members who failed to cooperate with congressional committees were usually fired even if they had tenure, Schrecker shows that these firings took place everywhere–at Ivy League universities, large state schools and small private colleges.
