i do believe he was a conscious soviet asset. that doesn't mean he was a member of the communist party, doesn't mean he was fessly getting signals transmitted into his ear. i don't mean acting in that fashion, but he was an agent of influence. >> host: well, who is source 19? >> guest: well, harry hopkins is source 19. >> host: you believe that? >> >> guest: it's the research of a late historian who really did skull work. it is sort of like a 99.9% possibility that agent 19 is harry hopkins. agent 19 was one, the unnamed member of a tete-a-tete between three, if you can have a tete-a-tete with three; roosevelt, churchill and agent 19, at which discussions for the date of the normandy invasion came out. >> host: absolute crucial information. >> guest: crucial information for stalin who was absolutely obsessed with normandy. >> host: yes. >> guest: but there's more to it than that, and the thing that interests me in terms of harry hopkins, harry hopkins in about the spring of 1943 which is, actually, a little earlier than this agen

government and were exposed as soviet? at. >> guest: and i know you're thinking of alger hiss but before i get to the other that whitaker chambers came to washington in 1934 to blow the whistle ed whitaker chambers was organizing at the state department and he met on his day of arrival with alger hiss. >> host: but also. >> guest: there is another agent in the white house and it was devised under roosevelt a century to amplify the power with the idea you have to be very powerful with the energy they dominated the portfolio with china. he was very instrumental from china and this is something that we know in the record. there were many others, mark says stephen and part of the economic policy and did want the soviet-style economy as it turns out from recent research at the time harry dexter white came across as the keynesian tradition and the counterpart of the post world war two global financial architecture and it is mind-boggling. >> guest: but there are hundreds of agents. some still have not been identified that the re

the other hopkins was he was also in the soviet archives was instrumental in shifting, telling the soviet foreign minister on the first visit to washington how to talk to the president in terms of how to persuade him to do what stalin wanted which was to invade northern france. they never wanted the armies in the middle of europe coming up through italy to which churchill wanted, and what if his worst days was when they made a military decision himself, actually noted in the biography, one of the few decisions made to help the british in northern africa where they suffered a massive unexpected ce -- defeat, and the second front called for to take pressure off his front with germany was north africa. it's interesting when you go back and see the headlines. literally, they are in the books. stalin says, no, nice, north africa invasion, nice, but not second front. the furyk for a second front, the ninth by the time frans comes along, was extraordinary, and hopkins was the leading booster of normandy, and stalin was the leading nonbooster of normandy. >> the second -- >> churchill did not wan

i do believe he was a conscious soviet aspect. that doesn't mean he wasn't a member of the communist party getting signals transmitted. i don't mean acting on that sort of fashion that he was an agent of influence. harry hopkins was source 14. my research of edward mark, the historian who did work i've read his thesis on this it is a possibility that the agent was one of the members between the three. roosevelt, churchill and agent 19 and which discussions for the date of the normandy invasion cannot. a crucial information for stalin but there's more to it than that harry hopkins and about the spring of 1943 which is a little earlier than the agent 19 incident was told by jay edgar hoover the verdict of the in a confidential letter -- because hopkins was the gatekeeper, that the fbi had been listening on the third top diplomat in washington delivering money and information to an unknown agent of the communist party in brooklyn which is where a lot of the analysis and expiration into atomic energy and the bomb and with the message

it made life very difficult for the soviet military. consumed enormous resources, just enormous, and not -- and most importantly, also changed the way the soviet citizens saw their own government. right? the government was forced to lie about a lot of the things it was doing. when dead soviet soldiers started coming home in zink coffins, people new it and it did undermine the authority of the government in large swaths of the population and made the central agents of the soviet enon very restive and very turbulent in the way they had not been before. 1979 is the year when the muslim population of the old soviet union ban to overtake the european population of the old soviet union. a very interesting moment in so if yet history. so certainly higher oil prices and the arms race with the united states, a lot of these other things conspired to make life very hard for the soviet regime but i do think the war in afghanistan was major, major factor. >> host: so, let's go to the other wing of the soviet empire, and in 1979 you have this really

see how far we get an attorney for going to finish it reenacting soviet union in afghanistan because. because no one else was there were basically it's nothing political. for communism or something it's just out of interest it was quite. interesting to research also quite hard. for heavily loaded cars with trailers to cross seven european countries. and there's little time for rest. we had a pretty interesting trip to the war history show. to my friends. be friends with fascists. but there is no ideology in it whatsoever but there's no difference between those dressed as the red army. uniforms only served to you know it is very nice when you pass a german camp in a soviet uniform and the german stand. at the camp the festival. together with the families. and friends in the. british police officer. and. his crew members. of the russian trip. few stops in the most important places connected with. one of them is the best fortress on the polish border. of the. garrison demonstrated outstanding bravery and resilience. troops. most of them death. carry our body up man. beltran has seen the

that's not the way we negotiate the soviets.including nuclear arms, but also including human rights and regional issues. lots of other things. every time our leaders not, they had a few things, agreements to sign, momentum as a result of a broad agenda we do not have the koran. there is no momentum and not a speech at the and final point. the context in which you negotiate. we have to be one to talk to the arraign answered in the secret any, private meeting. even commercial leaders. what we do is have the permanent five plus germany can we sit down iranians for at a very high level with. very better to do. it's on television. we say were going to demand this, demand not. they're going to stop enrichment and they get up and say were not going to stop enrichment and we're going to talk, boers not going to do any of the things they say they want from us and they cannot bear talks and reassure the public they haven't done anything. that's not the way to achieve progress. you've got to have sophistication, expertise with commitment t

in soviet history. higher oil prices in the arms race with the united states can and a lot of these are the things that conspire to make life very hard for the soviet regime but i certainly do think the war in afghanistan was a major major factor. >> host: so let's go to the other rim of the soviet empire and the 1979 you had this really amazing spectacle of a polish pope and not only was he the first non-italian and western european but really it's your view that he started the series of rulings and the solidarity movement that became the unraveling if you will of soviet dominance in europe. what strikes you in the story of pope john paul ii? >> guest: the thing that strikes me is the way that the polls have described the impact we had. it was not just the pride in a polish pope. he became pope in 1978. the poles were extremely happy about that needless to say and the kremlin was extremely worried about it. but i think it has a great deal to do with the special quality of john paul ii. he was one of th

it led to the soviet invasion in the first place. >> guest: that oanu part of the story. when the british intervened in the 19th century they intervened several times in afghanistan. and you never really quite want to go into afghanistan. you always get kind of drawn in the secure will buy the politics of the play and that sort of happened to the british and in many respects that is what happened to us in 2001. i don't think anybody was keen. it was something we had to do and once we were there we couldn't leave. horse kutz the key part of. the was across the political spectrum that the u.s. was going to do something in retaliation for the attack that we had. last a dozen years later and that's the part about getting sucked into the dysfunctional politics on the ground. >> guest: it was just how different it was from how we faced today. many things are radically different. there are no radical leftist or secular parties in afghanistan today. that has all been pretty much wiped out. but in the 1970's, those were the powerful forces in afghanistan. the president and from th

the way we did with the soviets.what we do is have the p5 plus one and we sit down at a high level. we could have been saved before we go in there, will demand this, not, stop enrichment and they could have been saved before they talk to us, we're not going to close a mocha within top, sure. but we're not going to do any of the things they say they want or not. and then they come out of their, talk and reassure the public they have done anything. that is not the way to achieve progress in a negotiation. you've got to have sophistication, expertise, commitment to change things and changing things means you have to figure a solution and we have managed to do that. so those are the negotiating principles we use at their principal enemy in the world. there's no reason we should use the same principles negotiating with iran. >> host: if iran were to acquire nuclear weapons, would they be willing to negotiate? when they feel stronger at that point? >> guest: it would be a new ballgame. we might well negotiate with them. ei

the soviet system could not withstand the free flow of information about the soviet path, about living standards in the west and all kinds of other things. when i was levering there and -- living there and writing that book, i got a really good look at a associate where the government had the last word on what's public and what's secret. in that kind of country, this was absolutely true in the soviet union, every editor had a giant sort of notebook of directives that said what you could and couldn't publish. every part of the bureaucracy of course put something into that book to cover up its own mistakes. so the fishery ministry, said that you couldn't write about if you were soviet newspaper, you couldn't write about certain practices they had including dumping huge ams of fish into the ocean. incredible wasteful practices they engaged in and this ministry put it in there. it doesn't take a genius to realize that a government like that is not going to be terribly efficient. if you cut off all the feedback that you can get from the public about how you're doing, you're not going to do

it was a soviet union that essentially defeated from the east. but compellingly, the western invasion could not possibly have succeeded without the movements of germany from the east. but this is a past, in the early church ethically, the soviet union after the terror, after the purges, after the coup having been created. of course, that alliance or what would become of the alliance after the war was a central great question not just a roosevelt or truman, but also churchville, who had to come to terms with the reality when the war ended, soviet troops are sitting well into central europe were not about to leave. so this is not a moment to reflect the origins of the cold war, but what is clear is the division between east and west exist on the day of the second world war ended. a theme of my book is one philosophers quote dirty hands of a match is called oral ambiguity, life including political lifters of instances where sometimes giving me, which are bad compromises are brought compromises might be necessary on behalf of an instrumental good suc

soviet studies, russia studies. and now this period is over, ironically enough, the french it is by no means automatic. -- the friendship is by no means automatic. is a real challenge to make americans interested in russia. russians are far more interested in the united states and americans are interested in russia. part of it is our lack of knowledge of frankly geography, yeah, i pick many people knew where the soviet union was because we all know the phrase war is god's way of teaching americans geography. so you know, quite a lot of young people in high school could see the sun beating on the map. that's a problem. i'm sure you saw the minor tempest in a teapot after the tragic event in boston, where somebody twittered we've got a new czechoslovakia. he said it was the czech republic and the czech ambassador wrote us a very slightly ironic letter saying please, you know, the czech republic is not chechnya. so that's a major problem. and i think if young americans saw this as opportunities in russia, i think that
