[55] A sharp contrast between the old politics and the new is shown by the unfortunate book prepared in the Department of State and now hastily, even guiltily, allowed to go out of print by the United States Government Printing Office because it showed that some Americans were guilty or naïve enough to try to love and trust the Soviet state within the same system as our own. One does not know whether to laugh or to weep at the spectacle of men lamenting the fact that they were once innocent and hopeful. The book, prepared by the late Harley Notter and others, is Department of State Publication 3580, General Policy Series 15, _Postwar Foreign Policy Preparation_ (Washington, 1949). That not all was innocence, even when things so seemed, is amply attested by Freda Utley's controversial but brilliant summary, _The China Story_ (Chicago, 1951). [56] The function of decision-making has been brilliantly though solemnly explored in Richard C. Snyder, H. W. Bruck and Burton Sapin, _Decision-making as an Approach to the Study of International Politics_ (Princeton, N.J., 1954.) [57] For a contrary point of view, see _Tensions That Lead to War_, edited by Hadley Cantril (Princeton, 1950). [58] The author had the opportunity of observing opsearch in the Korean war on three different occasions: September 1950, March 1951, and November and December 1952 and early January 1953. He visited Korea itself twice and also spent a great deal of time, part of it in a public capacity and part of it as a free-lance author, in the periphery of that war--areas such as Hong Kong, Indochina, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaya, Burma, Indonesia, and India. [59] Several novels have touched on PsyWar problems. The most hard-hitting of the lot is Jerome Weidman, _Too Early to Tell_ (New York, 1946). Covert PsyWar whispering techniques are thinly disguised and much improved, technically, in Darwin Teilhet, _The Fear Makers_ (New York, various dates). The covert side of some of these adventures is portrayed, among others, by W. Stanley Moss, _A War of Shadows_ (New York, 1952); Ray Franklin Kauffman, _The Coconut Wireless_ (New York, 1948); and Chin Kee Onn, _Silent Army_ (New York, 1953). As exciting as fiction are Mark Gayn and John Caldwell, _American Agent_ (New York, 1947), describing the work of an enthusiastic amateur, and L. C. Moyzisch, _Operation Cicero_ (New York reprint, 1952), portraying a first-class professional. Alexander Foote, _Handbook for Spies_ (London, 1949), and J. V. Davidson-Houston, _Armed Pilgrimage_ (London 1949), are interesting distillations of personal experience which touch on espionage and PsyWar. [60] The author professes he would like to write a preliminary work on this subject himself some day, if no one else essays the task first. [61] V = Victory day.
