existing soviet penetration in washington in directing both policy and, importantly, aid to the soviet union december 7, '41? the soviets are fighting with the nazis as of the 22nd of june, '41. >> guest: right. >> host: so the land lease, the economic effort -- >> guest: right. >> host: -- what is going on there? >> guest: well, a major soviet influence is going on. lend lease which is something that has exactly one line in the american ap history books that explains it as aid to britain and also soviet union was a massive supply line, a vacuum cleaner, a sears catalog -- >> host: what are we sending to them? >> guest: everything you can possibly imagine from tanks, boots, pipes, dresses -- >> host: aircraft. >> guest: aircraft. >> host: very important. >> guest: copper wire, very important. railway axels, cars, trunks. >> host: meat, canned meat. >> guest: but the point is this, this is a very important thing that happens with lend/lease. when gorbachev first came out and was going to meet with reagan, in some ways this actually led me into my research path, he denied that the united state

biggest disaster in history in my view and you have at the end of the war of course dominated by the soviet union and communism. >> so you have almost 20 years of the fair deal. i think what i started to see is the complicity of american officials through and presidents in terms of hiding the soviet treason is a dominant characteristic. >> host: its anti-communist and as realistic as they come. the commander -- what is the interest in covering it up? >> i think that he was a famous politician in 1943 at the conference. he was one of the boosters of winston churchill's severin european foot. he goes on at length in the state department papers about how fantastic this is the best way to get out and you will be able to do this and that and the other thing the country is on file in the yugoslav area. it's a very striking commentary that he presented to all of the allied commanders in late 1943. i thought he must have chewed him out for that or he was a hopkins still reject the time very clearly. it's not in his memoir. he doesn't discuss this. he was a politician the papers were not published until 6

famous but they still have not been identified with 500 agents that they can all of the fall of the soviet union and for what facilitated this identification. >> there several archives. to go between russian and soviet embassies in council it back to moscow. this and with 1943 and the idea was to break the code to find out what the soviet allies really wanted so we could be better allies. infiltrating it everywhere but it was hard work and they took 10 years with harry dexter white and roger gas by 1950 they were up on them but he was identified through the fbi there other investor -- investigations going on that a certain points along the way in the years to follow inside the american government there was knowledge of the tremendous buying going on while the government was having a quiet civil war lover whether there is any soviet penetration. period of the 1950's is what most people think back to. there were many other senators and congressmen tried to get a handle. >> richard nixon and launched his career. >> but the government i believe is completely innocent who benefits to keep disinformat

describe the role of the existing penetration in washington and directing and this brings aid to the soviet union before december 7, 41. the soviets are fighting with the nazis so the economic effort. what is going on? >> in major soviet influence is going on that has won in the history books that explain eight to britain and the soviet union was a massive supply line. >> what are we sending -- >> guest: everything you could imagine from dresses, aircraft, everything. this is a very important thing when gorbachev first came out i found this amazing and in some ways this led me to my research half. he denied that the united states had supplied the soviet union during world war ii. this is to george shultz, secretary of state, and this is very startling to everyone following this. i started looking into that because i knew it was wrong and i discovered gorbachev may or may not have known the truth. there is so much information you don't know if he is putting it out. what we have discovered by piecing together the different expos days is that there was by armand hammer who'd been a soviet asset and

their behavior is terrible, but the behavior of the soviet union was equally bad if not worse.what happened i was secretary schultz of ronald reagan decided instead of linking willingness to talk, we have to stand up the skies and they they do something wrong and refusing to talk does not deter an enemy. standing up to an animate as potentially in and makes hakim are possible. i believe if we stop linking our willingness to talk with, we'd be march the talking and they'd be more willing to talk to us. then the fourth thing is a broad agenda peer when iranians are interested in a lot of things. we never talk about that stuff in the negotiation. always talk about is what we want and they feel we don't want to give them anything until they give us what we want. 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

we absolutely did the right thing for the soviet union and we negotiated from strength and negotiated a meaningful way. besides negotiating principles we use we don't applyny of those principles vis-À-vis iran. it just doesn't make any tense. it makes sense then and i frequently mention not. when we came out of the government, i told secretary shultz, we should apply to rebrand the policies of the soviet union and he agreed with me and i'm honored he wrote the forward to this book. >> host: what are those that negotiating print the bulls? >> guest: the first is you have to have rhetorical strength. don't make a fool of the person you're negotiating went and make it more difficult to make concessions by pounding on your chest and claiming you've achieve some thing. make it easier by not growing as ronald reagan that he would not grow when he did things they want them do. the second thing is that doesn't mean you have to accept them our respect them for that matter, but you have to engage them diplomatically the way diplomacy works with sovereign states. the soviets were concerned about

realize they were still in the soviet union but i think. that they've been deceived they were furious. they were panicking they started shooting at the cockpit. trying to calm them down she kept telling them this is bin and this is spin and i can remember. i was probably. said something obscene to her and then. this footage shows dimitri who killed flight attendant. he played trumpet in the family. the investigation the idea of escaping the soviet union cross the older brother's mind during the tour abroad in one nine hundred eighty seven they decided to take the entire family with them to do that they had to go back to the us to collect them. from. the older brothers took control of the whole situation. would do. if it was for the good of the family. but it was the boy's idea to start earning money mom didn't work and they were living in an apartment so there was no more livestock they had to earn a living they couldn't do anything but play music there was no other option. in summer one thousand nine hundred seven we hired a neighbor who w

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

really began to overtake the european population of the old soviet union, a very interesting moment in soviet history. so certainly higher oil prices and the arms race with the united states. a lot of these other things that conspire to make life very hard for the subversion by soaring to think that the war in afghanistan was a major, major factor. so let's go to the other room of the soviet empire, and in 1979 you had this really amazing spectacle of a polish pope. not only was he the first aln and western european, but really it's your view that he started the series of earthquakes rolling that became the solidarity movement, that became the unraveling, if you will, of soviet dominance in eastern europe. what strikes you as fresh and the story of pope john paul ii? >> i think the thing that strikes me as particularly fresh is the way that have described impact that had on them. it was not just the pride in the polish pope. he became pope in 1978. they were extremely happy about that needless to say. and the criminal is extremely worried about it. but i think it has a great deal to
