I’ll have to read those books. I’ve read lots of articles by him, amazing life story and an incredible insight into the life behind the Iron curtain. Love reading his works.

The title of the book is Red Horizons, sorry for my typo. It’s publication in the 1980s first opened the West’s eyes to just how devious and omnipresent Andropov’s KGB was as it subverted America and Europe via a remarkable list of “influence operations.”

The subsequent publication of the KGB archives (the Mitrokhin Files) after the Soviet Union fell confirmed every word Pacepa wrote while adding exponentially to what people like Pacepa and Solzhenitsyn had been saying all along.

Red Horizons is a thick, dense book, and it can be hard work to read it, but the stuff in it is just so eye-opening it’s worth all the late nights and tired eyes. Pacepa was supposed to be writing a book about how the KGB basically created anti-Americanism and subverted the US effort in Vietnam creating lie after lie after lie, but I don’t know
that it was ever published.

The man’s writings should be required reading for all Americans, so that we more broadly understand the incredible role the Soviets played in not just our past but our future too—and how their operations live on in perpetuity despite the fall of the bureaucracy that created them.
