Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

xxvi, 432 pages. Illustrations. Abbreviations. Notes. Index. Introduction by Ronald Radosh. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Red mark on bottom edge. Aleksandr Semyonovich Feklisov (March 9, 1914 - October 26, 2007) was a First Chief Directorate Case Officer who received information from Julius Rosenberg and Klaus Fuchs, among others. Feklisov recruited Rosenberg. Feklisov reported at least 50 meetings with Rosenberg. He stated that Rosenberg provided important top secret information about electronics and helped organize an industrial espionage ring for Moscow. By the late 1940s, he was transferred to the London Rezidentura. Feklisov was transferred back to the United States and became the Washington, D.C. Rezident, or KGB Station Chief, from 1960 to 1964. As PGU KGB Rezident, Feklisov (Fomin) proposed what became the basis for resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis: removing missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise that the United States would not invade the island nation. Alexander Feklisov was the KGB spymaster who "controlled" Soviet spy Julius Rosenberg, who, with his wife, Ethel, was executed for selling atomic secrets in 1953. He also was responsible for the handling of German physicist Klaus Fuchs, who worked on the Manhattan Project and subsequently passed important information on to the Soviets. Here, he tells his story, including his role in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Feklisov's account provided missing links about the extent of the damage done by the Rosenberg spy network. He testified about the major successes. The most important piece of information that the Rosenberg gave the Soviets was an actual proximity fuse detonator. The fuse allows a shell to explode at a short distance from an airborne target, guaranteeing a direct hit. It also corrects the path of an explosive charge toward a plane, a precursor of missile homing devices. The Soviets used one to shoot down Francis Gary Powers's U-2 plane in 1960, derailing the Eisenhower-Khrushchev summit. First U.S. English Language Edition, Presumed first printing.…
