In the late 1960s and early 1970s long-simmering public unrest over the Vietnam War, social reform, and civil rights erupted into violent radical protest. When the Weather Underground Organization began a series of bombings, including strikes on the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, as acts of war against the United States, its young members became the target of one of the largest FBI manhunts in history.

In 1992 the late Vasili Mitrokhin, a former senior KGB archivist, defected to the West and brought with him classified files he had smuggled out of the archives during his time with the KGB. These documents were the basis of his collaboration with Christopher Andrew. In this book Mr. Andrew discusses the role of the KGB in the Third World at the time of the Cold War and analyzes how it has affected the current state of the world. He feels that the KGB was winning the war against America not on America's turf or on their own, but rather through their clandestine efforts to gain power in the Third World. He reveals new evidence from Vasili Mitrokhin's secret archives to support his assertions that the KGB encouraged the global sentiment of anti-Americanism that continues today. Mr. Andrew answered questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/189254-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/189254-1 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 03:13:13 GMT Stephen Budiansky talked about his book [Her Majesty's Spymaster: Elizabeth I, Sir Francis Walsingham, and the Birth of Modern Espionage], published by Penguin Group.

The U.S. reaction to these incidents resulted in the evolution of U.S. counterintelligence and security measures. As with current debates over privacy, one question that consistently arose was how the country could be made more secure without jeopardizing the civil liberties of its citizens. Mr. Earnest also responded to viewer comments and questions. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188440-5 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Call-In http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188440-5 Wed, 17 Aug 2005 13:36:38 GMT Timothy Naftali talked about his book, [Blind Spot: The Secret History of American Counterterrorism], published by Basic Books. In the book he writes that following World War II, the United States had developed a highly-efficient system of counterterrorism which was not regularly monitored and updated and eventually became outdated and inefficient. It wasn't until the radical groups of the late 1960s and 70s began taking American hostages that the United States was once again forced to confront terrorism. The author traces the history of American counterterrorism through America's global battle with terrorism after September 11, 2001. After his presentation he answered questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188136-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/188136-1 Sun, 31 Jul 2005 16:03:01 GMT Dr. Harrison discussed her book, [Driving the Soviets Up the Wall: Soviet-East German Relations, 1953-1961], published by Princeton University Press.

Mr. Craig examines the layers of accusations placed against Harry Dexter White, who at one time, served as a high-ranking Treasury official in the United States and was accused of espionage. The author notes that Mr. White's alleged involvement in policy subversion and policy espionage during the Cold War, were neither proved nor disproved. These accusations, however, served as a constant source of controversy during Mr. White's involvement with the U.S. Treasury Department, from 1935-1948. Following his illustrated remarks Mr. Craig answered questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/183031-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/183031-1 Sat, 07 Aug 2004 19:27:43 GMT David Kahn talked about his book [The Reader of Gentlemen's Mail: Herbert O. Yardley and the Birth of American Codebreaking], published by Yale University Press. He talked about the career of Herbert Yardley, the man who helped established the first code-breaking agency in 1917. Mr. Kahn asserted that code-breaking intelligence made intelligence gathering important, especially after World War II. Mr. Yardley focused his talents on cracking a Japanese code, which helped the United States win a diplomatic victory at the 1921 disarmament conference. However, eight years later his unit was shut down and Mr. Yardley wrote [The American Black Chamber], his memoir that detailed his work and experiences. While writing his book Mr. Kahn questioned if Mr. Yardley's memoir caused the Japanese to change their codes and if Mr. Yardley sold his work to Japan. Mr. Kahn also wondered what the condition of cryptography would have been had Mr. Yardley stayed in his position. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/182091-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/182091-1 Sun, 09 Jan 2005 06:30:28 GMT Mr. Earnest discussed the history of terrorism in the U.S. The International Spy Museum has just started an exhibit on the history of terrorist activities in the U.S. Scenes from the museum were shown.
