Acknowledgments
This project would not have been possible without the major effort of Tom
Troy, a friend and former colleague who undertook the challenging task of
reviewing an enormous body of intelligence documents for declassification.
His subsequent interpretation of some of the events and the US intelligence
reporting during the formation of Solidarity and the Soviet threats of military
intervention provided much of the stimulus for addressing the crisis in its full
dimensions. And his comments and suggestions during the drafting process
were also of great value.
Thanks also must be given to Mark Kramer of the Davis Center for Russian
and International Studies, whose exhaustive research and translation of docu-
ments from the archives of Poland and the former USSR and East Germany
provided new insights into the events that unfolded. I am in addition indebted
to Tom Blanton and Malcom Byrne of the National Security Archive—and to
their colleague Sue Bechtel who did the heavy lifting—and to the many schol-
ars of the Cold War International History Project, without whose work and
support this project would not have been possible. I must also express my
gratitude to Professors Ernest May and Philip Zelikow at Harvard’s John F.
Kennedy School for their encouragement throughout this effort.
Most of all, special thanks to Wendy Hilton-Jones at the Center for the
Study of Intelligence, whose work and patience are responsible for turning
this work in progress into a deliverable product. Thanks also to John Hedley
for his editing and indexing skills.
