Batvinis =================== Ex-Special Agent of the FBI, Historian at George Washington University & Executive Director of the J.

He has produced two books on the history of the FBI’s counterintelligence program. *The Origins of FBI Counterintelligence*, published by University Press of Kansas (UPK) in 2007, examines the turbulent early years of the Bureau’s counterintelligence evolution. *Hoover’s Secret War Against Axis Spies*, released by UPK in the spring of 2014, offers rich details about Hoover’s World War II struggles with his British allies, the Bureau’s role in the famed Double-Cross deception campaign against the Germans, its contribution to the war against Japan, and the startling revelations from FBI sources which influenced President Roosevelt’s decision to pursue the development of the atomic bomb.
