"Should also read Golytsin's book,New Lies For Old."
Couldn't agree more. Ideally, The Perestroika Deception should also be read. I did purchase it myself, but I can understand how some people would balk at the price which is a little over $30.
Great to see a fellow Golitzen/Suvorov fan. I put Pacepa in the same category.
Just a few days ago, I became aware of someone who had been high up in Czech intelligence who apparently has said things quite parallel to what Golitsyn has said. Don't have the reference handy.
The Golytsin/Angleton partnership was a watershed era in American intelligence. They lost. The defector whom the KGB sent to convince the CIA they had nothing to do with Lee Harvey Oswald during his long sojourn in the Soviet Union, drove the mole-hunter Angleton mad. The question on whether or not to accept him as genuine split the intelligence community down the middle, a fracture that never really healed.
Although subsequent events were to prove that Angleton's suspicions were well-founded, the only one to emerge from the fray with reputation at least somewhat intact was Golytsin. I believe he went to live in England. (alive today??) His predictions were quite uncanny in their accuracy. (And very frightening.)
