Three excerpts from our When Intelligence Made a Difference sseries in the latest issue of The Intelligencer are available, including the two main articles. James Roth, a former CIA officer, revisits the story of The Trust, a Bolshevik deception operation in the 1920s targeted at its opponents in Europe. His in-depth examination reveals that deception, lies, and myths have enveloped the history of this counterintelligence effort, and today much remains clouded about the truth. In Korea, despite having good intelligence on Chinese movements, General MacArthur’s handling of intelligence failed to prevent the disaster at the battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Alan Cunningham dissects the problems within MacArthur’s intelligence elements.
