Title ProperSpies in the news
Other Title Information Soviet espionage in the American media during world war II and the beginning of the cold war
LanguageENG
AuthorLovelace , Alexander G
Summary / Abstract (Note)
Broken down by occupation, more American journalists worked clandestinely for Soviet intelligence in the United States during the early 1940s than in any other profession except engineering. However, since reporters had no direct access to government secrets, most research focuses on their role as messengers, recruiters, and sources of inside information. While not discounting these roles, this article argues that journalist spies also collected a large amount of secret diplomatic and military information. Covering the years 1941 through 1946, this article also shows that the information collected by these spies evolved as World War II morphed into the Cold War.
