One huge advantage closed societies (e.g. North Korea) have over open societies is access to a great deal of information about the attitudes, sentiments, perceptions, and morale of open societies. They can calibrate their propaganda, statements, actions, and even military decisions to leverage gains and minimize losses based on this informationBut how do open societies find out what the people on the other side of the tightly closed and controlled curtain think of their government and system, and their loyalty to the state? Wars have been won or lost based on such information.Mr. Martyniuk, in this fascinating and lucid "tell all" book filled with colorful anecdotes and keen personal observations of people and places, describes how the U.S. pried open the Iron Curtain wide enough to collect invaluable information and insights about the thinking, loyalty, and morale of Soviet citizens. The many tricks and ploys, sting operations, false flags, and "double agents" encountered and employed by Mr. Martyiniuk and his colleagues make fiction spy novels seem dull by comparison.As a bonus, Mr.Martyniuk, a gifted writer with a flair for observation of details and discernment of personalities entertains us with his travels through much of France and adjoining areas.I strongly recommend this book to all readers who are fascinated with one of the heretofore unknown but crucial side skirmishes of the Cold War.
What touched me most in this book is the telling of history through the personal experiences of those people who lived through it. Especially the first part of Jaroslaw Martyniuk's book is fascinating in this regard. He describes the sufferings and life threatening adventures of his Ukrainian family members went through in their escape from Bolshevism during the years 1940 to 1946. It is written so exciting, I couldn't stop reading.Equally well written are his memories about his life in Paris, about the artists he was friends with and his research about the life of people in the Soviet Union during the Cold War.I share with him the love for mountains.
A wonderful memoir. Beginning with his flight, as a child, from the Soviets in Western Ukraine during WWII, Mr. Martyniuk takes the reader along on a fascinating journey culminating with his work at Radio Liberty and the collapse of the USSR. With a keen eye for observation, he skillfully weaves history, politics, travel, and a passion for art and early church architecture into the mix. Never far from the narrative is an abhorrence for what the Russians did to his family and homeland under communism and beyond. And as an abiding devotee of the European Classical Tradition, he is at his most eloquent in deconstructing the corrosive impact of socialism and militant Islam upon Western Culture. His is a first rate account of one man's odyssey in the last six decades of the 20th Century, as eclectic in its points of interest as it has been committed in purpose.
An important biography by a Ukranian American whose family escaped during WW2 to Chicago, and who remained a civilized European at heart. Much of the emphasis is on his time in France, especially his role in gathering information on Western radio's access to and influence on USER's populations. The many trips to historical sites are enriched by his remarkably detailed albeit at times tedious descriptions of vacations,although interesting perspectives are given on the associated histories and cultures. Refreshing in his resistance to bureaucracy, socialism, postmodernism and progressivism.
Review by Askold KrushelnyckyMonte Rosa - Memoir of an Accidental SpyAuthor Jaroslaw Martyniuk born shortly after World War Two erupted spent his first years in Ukraine. In 1944, as the war approached its climax, Soviet armies threatened to engulf his homeland, Galicia, and his family scrambled Westwards, just ahead of the pursuing Soviets. Their worst nightmare was being rapped in Soviet territory. Stalin had slaughtered millions of Ukrainians and condemned countless others to captivity or slow death in the Gulags, including some of Jaroslaw’s relatives.As the guns fell silent they were relieved to find themselves in the American zone of Germany where for the next few years they lived in refugee camps populated by tens of thousands of other uprooted Ukrainians.Martyniuk describes the war years and then life in the refugee camps vividly, precisely, sometimes with humor but never with a sense of victimhood. His childhood memories are of a helter-skelter adventure rather than a succession of horrors.That moulding experience seemed to have given Martyniuk a taste for adventure - physical, emotional and intellectual - that he communicates in this informative, delightfully eclectic memoir.In 1949 the Martyniuks moved to Chicago and the author describes how they enthusiastically embraced American life while also plunging into the thriving life of America’s Ukrainian diaspora.After doing well in college and proudly serving in the US Army Martyniuk a series of fortuitous coincidences landed him with the first of a number of prestigious jobs in Europe. This one in France, at the International Energy Agency, came with diplomatic status and sparked his lifelong affection for Paris.Martyniuk makes friends easily and his circle included many French and other European artists, poets, diplomats and bon viveurs. There were Ukrainian and Jewish dissidents from the Soviet Union and Martyniuk’s diplomatic connections attracted the KGB’s attention which made an unsuccessful recruitment attempt.Martyniuk’s passion to absorb culture and history meant frequent journeys across Europe. His descriptions of cathedrals and medieval Cathar castles become jumping-off points for discourses on history, civilization, ideology and contemporary Western politics and culture. Martyniuk assesses Ukraine, extremist Islam, a resurgent havoc-wreaking chauvinistic Russia and what he deems assaults on traditional western values.The “accidental spy†component of the memoir’s title refers to Martyniuk’s senior role in an undercover section of the US Congress-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. In the 1980s RFERL wanted to learn who was listening to its programs in the USSR and the satellite states, which the Soviet government tried to block with electronic jammers and threats for anyone caught listening.From 1985 Martyniuk oversaw teams of interviewers for the innocuous-sounding Soviet Area Audience and Opinion Research unit which approached Soviet tourists disembarking from cruise ships and planes around Europe. In what seemed chance meetings Martyniuk's people struck up conversations with the Soviet tourists eliciting information about RFERL’s penetration into Soviet territory and listeners’ opinions about programs.Europe’s mountain ranges gave Martyniuk wonderful opportunities to indulge his love of skiing and to discover a new passion - mountaineering. He describes, often humorously, the arduous efforts to master this risky new skill and then his first tough climb the ascent of Monte Rosa in Switzerland in August 1991 that give the book its title.Martyniuk and his team mates were out of contact with the world as they ascended the mountain and it was only on the way down they heard on a radio that during their climb a communist KGB-led coup to overthrow Soviet reformer Mikhail Gorbachev had failed, the USSR had imploded and Ukraine had declared independence.It seemed fitting that this momentous event happened while Martyniuk was grappling with his own grueling adventure. His unbridled joy at the news showed Ukraine is the thread that runs through Martyniuk’s life every bit as vitally as the rope tethering him to the mountainside.
