The column, “Were U.S. Allies in CIA Sights?” was datelined February 15, 1999,
and distributed by News World Communications, Inc. In fact, this was not the first time the U.S. had contemplated assassinating Chiang. See Dorn’s “Walkout With Stillwell,” pp. 75-79.

Most estimates say he was responsible for between 40 and 60 million deaths.

For more on these plots see veteran broadcast journalist Wes Vernon’s article about Toledano, “Hard-nosed investigative reporting: a giant has left us,” published May 7, 2007, at
RenewAmerica.com
. It should be noted that at this time—in the early period right after WWII—there was an on-going struggle in the CIA, as in all branches of government, between pro and anti-Soviet factions. It wasn’t until later when the Russians, U.S. allies in WWII, revealed themselves clearly as an enemy that the anti-Soviet faction prevailed and the Cold War began in earnest.

5
As already explained in this book, the OSS was riddled with communists, including agents working directly for the Soviets. There were suspect “accidents” to agents dropped behind enemy lines. Douglas Bazata believed someone had tampered with his parachute resulting in the injury he received jumping into France. In Toledano’s
New York Times
obituary (February 6, 2007), the obit writer says about his planned but cancelled OSS parachute drop, “Despite a crash course in Italian, he was rejected for covert work in Italy because he was deemed too anti-Communist to work with Italian leftists.”

Gouzenko defected from the Soviet Embassy in Canada in September 1945.

Richard Sorge, a Soviet Journalist, has often been called Stalin’s greatest spy. Toledano wrote extensively about him.

8
As I’ve already implied earlier in
Target: Patton
, I’m convinced Senator McCarthy, whatever his personal faults, has been wrongly portrayed by a largely biased leftwing press and Hollywood whose distortions have left an impression on ordinary Americans that McCarthy was a bullying, lying, demigod. The truth is he was correct and a patriot in his accusations that the immediate post-war Truman government was rife with communists. His information was coming from those running the ultra secret Venona project which had access to secret Soviet communications which the U.S. was secretly reading. But even he didn’t know that. Venona didn’t become public until just recently. For a more balanced and updated look at McCarthy see
Blacklisted by History
by M. Stanton Evans.
