Requirements: ePUB Reader, 5.3MB
Overview: The extraordinary life of Jay Lovestone is one of the great untold stories of the 20th century. A Lithuanian immigrant who came to the USA in 1897, he rose to leadership in the Communist Party of America, only to fall out with Moscow & join the anti-Communist establishment after WW2. He became one of the leading strategists of the Cold War, being described as ‘one of the five most important men in the hidden power structure of America.’ Lovestone was obsessively secretive. It’s only with the opening of his papers at the Hoover Institution, the freeing of access to Comintern files in Moscow & the release of his 5700-page FBI file that biographer & Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Morgan has been able to construct a full account of the remarkable events of his life. The life described is full of drama & intrigue. He recounts Lovestone’s career in the faction-riven communist world until he was spirited out of Moscow in 1929 after Stalin publicly attacked him for doctrinal unorthodoxy. As he veered away from Moscow, he came to work for the American Federation of Labor, managing a separate union foreign policy as well as maintaining his own intelligence operations for the CIA, many under the command of the counterintelligence chief James Angleton.
