About the Book

Fascinating . . . well-documented . . . thought-provoking and entertaining" (Publishers Weekly), Operation Rollback is a tale of intrigue and espionage that reveals how and why suspicions on both sides drove the world into the Cold War. In 1945 the United States and the Soviet Union started secretly mobilizing forces against each other, building intricate intelligence networks of spies and digging in for the postwar era. America's secret action plan, known as Rollback, was an audacious strategy of espionage, subversion, and sabotage. Concealed for four decades by all involved, the dangerous episodes of the Rollback campaign have only now come to light.

Review :
"A fascinating chronicle that casts a welcome light on policies and procedures unknown by virtually all Americans." Kirkus Reviews

"A fascinating and well-documented tale of intrigue . . . thorough, thought-provoking and entertaining." Publishers Weekly, Starred

"The last big story of the Cold War finally is being told. The story is the adventurous clandestine effort by the United States right after World War II to reverse communism in Soviet-conquered East Europe and in the Soviet Union too....The book rounds out a grim episode heretofore known only in incomplete bits and pieces and is full of fresh diggings from archival and human sources." The Washington Post
