Douglas Caddy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Another important hint: I would add this to the previous post, but that thread is rather long. This crucial trip was made by Popov's mole during the covert meetings between the mole and Vladislav Kovshuk in Washington in early 1957. Although the true name will not be revealed until the publication of Volume IV, his trip in February-March 1957 helps firmly establish him as a high-echelon (i.e., staff-level) KGB mole working in the CIA. I hope you will enjoy Chapter Fifteen in Volume IV--"The Quest for Popov's Mole--Provenance, Authenticity, and Independent Attestation."

Douglas Caddy Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 I am attempting to find and post John's previous posting that he refers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Caddy Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 John Newman posted this on Facebook on July 6: At 5:00 pm this afternoon, Volume IV, "Uncovering Popov's Mole" was delivered to the publisher. This is not a book that I saw coming. It hit like a comet. The effects of its impact never let up. We were dealing with new breakthroughs as recently as two days ago. Like the end of Volume III (Into the Storm), the curtain had to come down at some point. The decision was made today to reveal the bulk of what has been uncovered thus far. The publisher estimates approximately five weeks of work (give or take a week) will be needed before it can be sent to Amazon. While we wait for that to happen, all of the chapters of Volume V--Armageddon-- (which is about two thirds completed) will be reassessed, and we will choose the right platform for a zoom conference soon after publication. Hint: The "Three Musketeers" (a fake photo of KGB agents Kovshuk, Guk, and Kislov) arranged meetings with Popov's mole in Washington in January-February 1957 who dispatched the mole to Beirut in circa mid-February 1957 to investigate how to help Moscow Center maintain its penetration of the CIA.

Benjamin Cole Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I wonder what Newman is up to. Is he writing a very worthwhile history of intel agencies, or furthering the JFKA story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Govus Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 He may be doing both. I thought volume five was to be a study of the JFKA it's own self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Govus Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 My plan is to read pretty much all his writings, still on a crazy-long to-read list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
