Glantz (born January 11, 1942) is an American military historian known for his books on the Red Army during World War II and as the chief editor of The Journal of Slavic Military Studies.

Laguna Hills, CA: Aegean Park Press, 1984. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a three volume set. Volume 1 [0894120662]: {2], 95, [1] pages; Volume 2 [0894120670]: [2], iii, [1], 97-539, [1] pages; Volume 3 [0894120689]: [2], iii-iv, 541-733, [1] pages. These are volume 4, 5 and 6 in the publisher's Intelligence series. This is the complete, unedited, official Report of the Royal Commission. These volumes provide firsthand knowledge of Soviet espionage agent recruiting methods--how citizens of Western democracies were developed through "ideological motivation" and not necessarily by money. Case studies of individual agents, verbatim testimony of witnesses, and actual Soviet espionage documents are included. A Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate espionage, headed by Justices Robert Taschereau and Roy Kellock, was conducted into the Gouzenko Affair and his evidence of a Soviet spy ring in Canada. It also alerted other countries around the world, such as the U. S. and the U. K., that Soviet agents had almost certainly infiltrated their nations as well. Gouzenko provided leads which assisted greatly with ongoing espionage investigations in Britain and North America. The documents he handed over exposed numerous Canadians who were spying for the Soviet Union. A clerk at the External Affairs, a Canadian Army captain, and a radar engineer working at the National Research Council were arrested for espionage. A spy ring of up to 20 people led by Fred Rose was also exposed. British nuclear scientist Alan Nunn May was arrested in March, 1946. The FBI tracked down a Soviet spy, Ignacy Witczak. More
