Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Richard Edgar Pipes (born July 11, 1923) is an American academic who specializes in Russian history, particularly with respect to the history of the Soviet Union. During the Cold War era he headed Team B, a team of analysts organized by the Central Intelligence Agency which analyzed the strategic capacities and goals of the Soviet military and political leadership. His son is Middle East academic and analyst Daniel Pipes. Richard Pipes was born in Cieszyn, Poland to an assimilated Jewish family. His father was a businessman. By Pipes's own account, during his childhood and youth, he never thought about the Soviet Union; the major cultural influences on him were Polish and German culture. The Pipes family fled occupied Poland in October 1939 and arrived in the United States in July 1940, after seven months passing through Fascist Italy. Pipes became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1943 while serving in the United States Army Air Corps. He was educated at Muskingum College, Cornell University and Harvard.
