Katherine A. S. Sibley. Red Spies in America: Stolen Secrets and the Dawn of the Cold War. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas. 2004. Pp. xiii, 370. $39.95.

This book by Katherine A. S. Sibley offers an impressively researched overview of Soviet military and industrial espionage from the 1930s through the 1990s. The book focuses, in particular, on how Soviet espionage in America before and during World War II set the stage for the Cold War period by generating a pervasive anti-Soviet outlook in the counterintelligence community. Sibley concurs with historians such as Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes in holding that "Soviet espionage activity dwarfed not only what many scholars have traditionally understood of espionage levels in the 1930s and 1940s but also of what most U. S. officials estimated at the time" (p. 5). Drawing on her own original work in recently declassified FBI files, decrypted Soviet cables from the Venona project, Soviet records, and relevant secondary texts, Sibley sees Moscow creating an extensive network of military and industrial espionage from the opening of diplomatic relations with Washington in 1933 through the wartime alliance. The "heyday" of Soviet espionage ended, she holds, with the termination of World War II.
