David Wise (May 10, 1930 October 8, 2018) was an American journalist and author who worked for the New York Herald-Tribune in the 1950s and 1960s, and published a series of non-fiction books on espionage and US politics as well as several spy novels. His book The Politics of Lying: Government Deception, Secrecy, and Power won the George Polk Award and the George Orwell Award. In 1951, Wise joined the New York Herald-Tribune and became the paper's White House correspondent in 1960. He was chief of the paper's Washington, D.C. bureau from 1963 to 1966. He was later a commentator on intelligence issues for CNN for six years. Thomas B. Ross was a journalist and best-selling author of books on military intelligence who later became the spokesman for the Pentagon in the Carter administration. In 1960, when Mr. Ross was the Washington bureau chief for The Chicago Sun-Times, a United States spy plane was shot down over Russian territory. At the time, government officials claimed it was a weather plane, but the Russian government later produced the pilot, Francis Gary Powers. Mr. Ross and David Wise investigated the incident and published ''The U-2 Affair'' in 1962. The book was the first of three the two wrote together. ''The Invisible Government,'' published in 1964 and explained the role of intelligence agencies in diplomacy. Mr. Ross and Mr. Wise explored, in 1967, the intelligence community in ''The Espionage Establishment'' The 1960 U-2 incident occurred during the Cold War on 5/1/1960 during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over the USSR. At first, the US government denied the plane's purpose & mission, but was forced to admit its role as a covert surveillance aircraft when the Soviet government produced its remains (largely intact) & surviving pilot, Francis Gary Powers. Coming just over two weeks before the scheduled opening of an East-West summit in Paris, the incident was a great embarrassment to the USA & prompted a marked deterioration in its relations with the Soviet Union. On 1 May 1960, a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down by the Soviet Air Defence Forces while conducting photographic aerial reconnaissance deep inside Soviet territory. Flown by American pilot Francis Gary Powers, the aircraft had taken off from Peshawar, Pakistan, and crashed near Sverdlovsk (present-day Yekaterinburg), after being hit by a surface-to-air missile. Powers parachuted to the ground and was captured. Initially, American authorities acknowledged the incident as the loss of a civilian weather research aircraft operated by NASA, but were forced to admit the mission's true purpose a few days later after the Soviet government produced the captured pilot and parts of the U-2's surveillance equipment, including photographs of Soviet military bases. The incident occurred during the tenures of American president Dwight D. Eisenhower and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, around two weeks before the scheduled opening of an eastwest summit in Paris, France. Khrushchev and Eisenhower had met face-to-face at Camp David in Maryland in September 1959, and the seeming thaw in U.S.-Soviet relations had raised hopes globally for a peaceful resolution to the Cold War. The U-2 incident shattered the amiable "Spirit of Camp David" that had prevailed for eight months, prompting the cancellation of the summit in Paris and embarrassing the U.S. on the international stage. The Pakistani government issued a formal apology to the Soviet Union for its role in the mission. Following his capture, Powers was convicted of espionage and sentenced to three years of imprisonment plus seven years of hard labor; he was released two years later, in February 1962, in a prisoner exchange for Soviet intelligence officer Rudolf Abel.
