Corrections:
Studies Volume 55 Number 2 contained two errors in the Intelligence Officer’s Bookshelf:
The review of Leland C. McCaslin’s book, Secrets of the Cold War, mistakenly asserted that the book’s table of contents contained a reference to comments by Francis Gary Powers, Jr. It did not. The comments appeared only on the back of the book’s cover.
The review of Richard H. Cummings book, Radio Free Europe’s “Crusade for Freedom” noted erroneously that CIA sponsorship of RFE ended in 1967 and that its sponsorship was “ revealed” in 1976. CIA sponsorship was revealed in 1967 and officially acknowledged and ended in 1971.
All statements of fact, opinion, or analysis expressed in this article are those of the author. Nothing in the article should be construed as asserting or implying US government endorsement of an article’s factual statements and interpretations.
