The Gouzenko Affair
Arguably, Gouzenko's defection in Ottawa in September 1945 was the starting point of the Cold War. Some nitty, Amy Knight, wrote a book about it. Harvey Klehr, a very smart prof from Emory, rips her a new one in a review that escaped me before.

interesting article. I've never been too interested in that spy stuff. Here's a review of Keeg's book by Kak.
AA, just a minor note:
Here's one of the recent Cold War history dissertations that touches a bit of the periphery (thematically) with what is mentioned in the article you posted here. The reason we still have two large B-52 airbases in northern North Dakota (just outside Grand Forks and Minot) has everything to do with the Cold War. Mills is giving a public talk this afternoon. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. I've been in at least one seminar class with him. Nice guy.
Excuse me (not enough coffee ingested this morning): I meant to direct the above to AI.
That's a one Harpoon penalty I'm guessing?
No. We're square on that case of Siena. Sorry. Stakes are higher on Sunday mornings. Best wishes.
Sounds good -- but the link to him (Mills) at the bottom is broken, so I couldn't see what he's up to.
Hmmmm... okay. Here's the link again; try to cut'n'paste? No worries if it doesn't work this time either. It's just his cv (he's a veteran and military Captain, serving in GWI, and GWII): http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/instruct/isern/wizard/millsvita.htm
JJ, find some buddies at Rutgers and send 'em to that liquor store I linked you to a while back. Sienne was on sale for something ridiculous like twenty bucks.
MFT: That link worked OK before, it's just the further link (at the bottow of his CV) that doesn't work...
