Customer Reviews

Arthur R. Leahy enrolled in a creative writing class in February , with his wife Eileen and their son Ryan. Since then, he has dedicated his writing to sharing stories from his past experiences. His other work includes Death on the 16th Fairway , an audio golf themed mystery trilogy; short stories The Key and Me, a nostalgic drama; and The Matched Pistols of Fizzle, an historical tale; plus several scripts for one- and two-act plays. There are numerous inaccuracies re: McCarthy. The Hollywood Blacklist was regulated by the industry itself, not Congress.

Leahy's Writings

The VENONA papers, in conjunction with declassified KGB files, show conclusively that there were Soviet spies at the highest levels of the American government, in the media, and working for defense contractors. There are many errors in this article. Clement Attlee was.

He never even sat on it.

The Cold War: 5 things you might not know - CNN

I could go on but will leave it at that. Regards, Peter Wales, UK. Peter Crawford: Churchill was still a major British leader at that time. He would, of course, go on to be Prime Minister again for a period in the s. And please do go on. We are extremely concerned with accuracy here and if you ever spot mistakes in articles, please do point them out hopefully politely.

Nobody bats So please, go on! AmicusC: All comments by new posters are held in moderation until me the editor here checks them. This is a really busy time of year for this site lots of things going on that will be announced soon , so right now longer. However, once you get a couple comments approved, your comments will no longer be held in moderation. We literally get thousands of spam comments per day submitted.

Spammers get more and more clever every year. How can you write an article on the Cold War without mentioning Ronald Reagan? HUAC is best known for the investigation of Alger Hiss and for its investigation of the Hollywood film industry, which led to the blacklisting of hundreds of actors, writers, and directors. Also, thank you for being polite in pointing out a mistake. Really great write-up.

I agree that you should be a history professor. Your articles are always so informative and interesting.

Would it be ok if we make suggestions on articles for you to write — you can be like our own personal historian. Misstating the facts about the HUAC was an editing error. Theodoros II regrets the error and salutes the alert and intelligent readers who caught it. TIFO readers are kickass great!!!!!! It was a bald misstatement of facts that have been known since the Venona Project. Kathy: Theo does not have the ability to moderate comments. Only I do. As for moderation time, that varies wildly, as stated in a comment elsewhere in this thread.

That can happen. Or during the Five Year Plan and Purge trials? Why has North Korea endured? So this is the result of years of Liberal propaganda. Many were high level bureaucrats. Go back up the list to the kathy shaidle response you let through missed at least one more. She gives the details and sites. Mr theo, tear down this article! No mention of Geneva summit between Kennedy and Khrushchev?

And so on…. Glenn: The problem there is Theo had the burden of encapsulating a huge time period with an amazing number of significant things going on in about words, which is the normal target for articles here. Obviously this one was much longer than that, but in an attempt to keep it from being 5, words, he had to cut some things out. The article is shot through with commonplace errors about McCarthy, HUAC etc that were soundly debunked 20 years ago with Venona and other revelations from the Soviet archives.

Kathy: Sometimes longer. On weekdays, it depends. Usually I check comments first thing in the morning and then irregularly throughout the day. However, I was awake until about 5am this morning PST working on those aforementioned new things and so comments were checked a little late as a bit of sleep was needed.

PabloNH: Are you under the impression that Theo is trying to push some sort of political agenda here? If so, see my comment to Kathy. Or how it began. You have the order of events backwards; Berlin was one of the last places the Soviets occupied.

What Was the Cold War?

PabloNH: Do you have some sources on that one? PabloNH This is my last comment for this article since especially Daven and I covered pretty much everything. I picked your comments and claims because you gave me the perfect chance to show how you guys operate and blatantly abuse historical facts by throwing them out there and try to make a point.

In reality and from my awesome but short experience with the site so far, I can easily notice that all people like you manage to do with such behaviour and hostile commentary is exposing your own lack of knowledge. In reality you absolutely made no point and you are FAR from the truth. Berlin was one of the very first, if not THE first places that was divided right after the end of the war in Europe in The victorious powers divided the city into four sectors, analogous to the occupation zones into which Germany was divided.

So what are you trying to say here because you have me really confused now…. That the eastern regions of Berlin were not under Soviet influence from because of the crisis? I mean you are so blatantly wrong about the historical facts here, yet you feel comfortable enough to insult others. If you are trying to tell us that the NAME East Berlin would be in valid only after , then Bravo you are right but we know that already. Things are not as simple as some might think and maybe there are more versions of the truth than the one we arrogantly want to believe.

I tried to touch all these versions of truth in this article and deliver a neutral piece. One last question. Since you seem to be a little too obsessed with Berlin: Are you one of the many truth is that there are many unfortunately who consider that the end of the Cold War came with the Fall of Berlin Wall? Took down all the comments pointing out your many mistakes. This is unfortunately true. As I said elsewhere, we are extremely concerned with making sure everything is perfectly accurate here.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, bats , no matter how hard we try. For your reference, Theo does not have the ability to delete comments by other people. So any deletions are not by the author, but by me. I do then re-research and fix the mistakes if any are found, but if you want your comments approved, a little civility is needed.

It proved to be a major mistake. Well, there are sites that care about the truth, and sites that care about fragile egos. For some odd reason the anonymity of the internet invariably brings out the worst in many people who would normally be civil in person. But starting an argument with insults, rather than facts and reason, is just a poor way to have a constructive conversation. Be civil, and regardless of the ideas you present, your comments will get approved here.

I realize some disagree with that policy and want the freedom to call others all sorts of insulting names here rather than simply let the strength of their argument determine things, but just my personal policy. As I said elsewhere, I made the mistake on a previous site I ran in allowing that sort of thing. Certainly there ended up being a large, very active community there, but in the end it was all negativity as everyone who was interested in having civil, constructive discussions ended up leaving and what was left was a community that embodied the lowest common denominator of the internet.

See a Problem?

So, please, point out mistakes if you see them in the articles. I hate mistakes in articles here even more than I hate internet rudeness. I love a good debate like that. Is this the famous Theo of Listverse, Toptenz, Gunaxin etc? This guy is a legend. This had a large Soviet involvement, as they were arming China and the North Koreans.

A second key event missed in this account was Yom Kippur in These along with the Danzig strikes in Poland in the s made it increasingly evident that the USSR could only retain its hegemony over eastern Europe through increasing amounts of force to suppress internal dissent.

More needs to be said about Containment as well. I could have focused exclusively on the key factors that caused the cold war and the key factors that ended it. Instead I did a really honest and generous attempt to cover as much as possible inside the limit of words, but I see that some people are going to complain no matter what.

Some will even accuse me for being a Cultural Marxist, a liberal idiot and why not a Soviet Spy too, right? I thought and hoped the readers would understand that.
