Garden City, NY: Doubleday & Co Inc, 1963. 1st Stated Ed. Hardbound. 8vo. 6 Pgs.. Fine in Chipped DJ/Good. The Penkovskiy Papers by Oleg Penkovskiy. Published by Doubleday & Co Inc, Garden City, NY, 1963. 1st Stated Edition. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Chipped DJ. 411 Pgs. LCCN 65-24909. With an introduction and commentary by Frank Gibney. Foreword by Edward Crankshaw. Translated by Peter Deriabin. Col Oleg Penkovskiy, Russian war hero, senior officer in soviet military intelligence, graduate of the Soviet staff college and the missile academy, rocked the Soviet regime to its foundations by the effect of his voluntary spying for the West. Single-handedly he sabotaged Khrushchev's threatened Berlin show-down in 1961 and his information lay behind President Kennedy's successful defeat of the soviet Cuban missile threat in October, 1962. This book comprises an unprecedented revelation of how totalitarian power works, details the surprising worldwide operations of the Soviet intelligence, and gives and intimate portrayal of the men at the top of Soviet society and their conflicting drives for power.
