They began their careers at age seven, at the height of the Cold War, as part of a series of government-authorized experiments to create the perfect spies, filed under code names such as MKULTRA, Artichoke, Monarch, and Paperclip. Their minds and bodies conditioned to endure physical and psychological strains, they grew up to become America's secret weapons, trained to attack, infiltrate, and seduce. Recent release of classified documents reveals the truth about this Jason Bourne-like spy network, a top-secret program to train children to become guerrilla leaders, assassins, and couriers of information. One child spy became Sgt. Thomas O'Neil, a courier so thoroughly conditioned that nothing would causehim to divulge the codes he had memorized. The other became Lt. Rick Shaw, a tactical specialist with intense training in weaponry and elite team leadership. What no one realized was that Lt. Rich Shaw and Sgt. Thomas O'Neil were not the men others thought them to be. They were sisters. Secret Weapons is the fascinating, studiously documented true story of Cheryl and Lynn Hersha. Through analysis of previously classified CIA files and extensive interviews with experts and participants, this chilling, incredible true story is at last coming to light.

Was there ever really a black-Jewish alliance in twentieth-century America? And if there was, what happened to it? In Troubling the Waters, Cheryl Greenberg answers these questions more definitively than they have ever been answered before, drawing the richest portrait yet of what was less an alliance than a tumultuous political engagement--but one that energized the civil rights revolution, shaped the agenda of liberalism, and affected the course of American politics as a whole. Drawing on extensive new research in the archives of organizations such as the NAACP and the Anti-Defamation League, Greenberg shows that a special black-Jewish political relationship did indeed exist, especially from the 1940s to the mid-1960s--its so-called "golden era"--and that this engagement galvanized and broadened the civil rights movement. But even during this heyday, she demonstrates, the black-Jewish relationship was anything but inevitable or untroubled. Rather, cooperation and conflict coexisted throughout, with tensions caused by economic clashes, ideological disagreements, Jewish racism, and black anti-Semitism, as well as differences in class and the intensity of discrimination faced by each group. These tensions make the rise of the relationship all the more surprising--and its decline easier to understand. Tracing the growth, peak, and deterioration of black-Jewish engagement over the course of the twentieth century, Greenberg shows that the history of this relationship is very much the history of American liberalism--neither as golden in its best years nor as absolute in its collapse as commonly thought.

The establishment of Harlem as the main area of black settlement and as a poor ghetto occurred before the Depression. When the Depression came, the blacks fell still further into poverty. Racism created and perpetuated Harlem's poverty, yet segregation and discrimination also produced strong social and political networks that served not only to meet immediate needs, but to mobilise thousands to demand a better life. In this extensively researched and well argued book, Cheryl Greenberg examines the growth in the 1930s of a widespread, activist, political culture in Harlem.
