About the Author
Albert L. Weeks has studied Soviet Russia for more than fifty years, and he is an expert in the field. He began as translator and editorial adviser for The Current Digest of the Soviet Press and as translator and glossary compiler on the classified USAF technical-translation project for McGraw-Hill. He also translated some of the Smolensk Collection of official Soviet documents (about Gulag prisoners’ rations) for the AFL-CIO. During the Cold War, he served as senior soviet analyst for the U.S. Department of State and Radio Free Europe, Inc. In the late 1950s, he was an editorial assistant at Newsweek magazine where he is credited with having coined the term “sputnik” to describe the Soviets’ first artificial earth satellite.
He guest-lectured at West Point Military Academy and taught at New York University for over twenty-five years until he retired in 1989. Currently he is teaching global studies at the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. One of his hobbies is watercolor painting.
Weeks is the author of several books, among them: Reading American History; The First Bolshevik: A Political Biography of Peter Tkachev; The Other Side of Coexistence: An Analysis of Russian Foreign Policy; The Troubled Détente; The Soviet Nomenklatura; Myths That Rule America; and Soviet and Communist Quotations. His articles have been published in numerous academic and U.S. military and intelligence journals.
