Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Chronicles the intriguing life and times of one-time American Communist leader Jay Lovestone, his falling out with Stalin, his union with the anti-Communism establishment following World War II, and his role as head of a private CIA-funded intelligence service. 12,500 first printing.

Nota de la solapa:

inary life of Jay Lovestone is one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century. A Lithuanian immigrant who came to the United States in 1897, Lovestone rose to leadership in the Communist Party of America, only to fall out with Moscow and join the anti-Communist establishment after the Second World War. He became one of the leading strategists of the Cold War, and was once described as "one of the five most important men in the hidden power structure of America."
        
Lovestone was obsessively secretive, and it is only with the opening of his papers at the Hoover Institution, the freeing of access to Comintern files in Moscow, and the release of his 5,700-page FBI file that biographer and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ted Morgan has been able to construct a full account of the remarkable events of Jay Lovestone's life.
        
The life Morgan describes is full of drama
