Venona – Soviet Spies in America
During World War II and the Cold War Soviet spies and operatives infiltrated the White House, Treasury, State, DOJ, WAR, and DOD. They also penetrated our most guarded program, the Manhattan Project. Fortunately, the U.S. Army had a top-secret counterintelligence project to decode Soviet Intelligence messages. Most of the cryptanalysts were women at Arlington Hall, VA. VENONA was instrumental in identifying American spies. Many were committed communists who were highly placed. We explore this program and its far-reaching impact. Speaker: Thomas Eastwood
