In a surprising number of espionage cases sex has played a significant role—often only in the background—possibly as a reason why a particular individual has lived beyond his means and is in desperate need of cash. FBI agent Earl Pitts sold secrets to the Soviets to ease his financial burdens, which came from his habitually heavy use of male and female prostitutes. Yuri Nosenko collaborated with the CIA after having misappropriated KGB funds to entertain expensive women while on official duties in Geneva, and Aleksandr Ogorodnik of the Soviet foreign ministry was persuaded to become a spy by his pregnant Spanish lover, an agent recruited by the CIA.
In the realm of human behavior, sex can be the catalyst for risky or reckless conduct. The Historical Dictionary of Sexspionage explores this behavior through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the secret agencies, operations, and events. From Delilah's seduction of Samson in 1161 BC to State Department official Donald Keyser's conviction of passing secrets to Isabelle Cheng, a Taiwanese intelligence officer, in 2007, Nigel West recounts the history of sexspionage.

Over the last two centuries, Spain has played an important role in Western Europe. Spanish soldiers and guerrillas helped inflict the first major defeat on Napoleon. It became a symbol of the struggle against fascism during its bloody Civil War (1936-1939). Recently, the country underwent a peaceful transition from military dictatorship to parliamentary democracy and has become a partner within both NATO and the European Union. The "Historical Dictionary of Spain" details these events and examines the country's painful adjustment to modernity. It provides a comprehensive reference guide to the modern economic, social, and political history of Spain beginning with Napoleon's invasion in 1808. Its approximately 400 entries focus on leading figures, key political parties and historical events, economic resources, institutions, geography, and its vibrant cultural life. It is fully cross-referenced and supplemented with a general historical introduction, list of abbreviations and acronyms, detailed chronology, extensive bibliography and bibliographical commentary, a number of tables outlining major economic and political trends, and maps.

In contrast to its relatively small size, the Netherlands has been an important and influential state in Europe and the world. The Dutch have been agitators for independence, they have fought for rights, dominated the seas, and in past generations, created a far-flung colonial empire. In the arts and sciences, the Netherlands has begotten more than its share of painters, musicians, writers, philosophers, theologians, and economists. "Historical Dictionary of the Netherlands" provides basic information on people and topics from Dutch political, intellectual, and colonial history and culture in nearly 600 concise entries. The "Dictionary" covers Dutch history from the earliest stages (before there was a Netherlands) through the current political, economic, and cultural situations. Also included is an introduction which assists readers to understand the basic patterns and important events of Dutch history. The concluding bibliography wil help researchers locate additional information on recent books (published after 1970, mainly in English).

Name: Historical Dictionary of Socialism

Recent election wins by left of center parties in Western Europe testify to the continued vitality of the tradition of democratic socialism. Socialism has been the leading ideology for social change for over a century. It has been a philosophy, a mass movement, and a substitute religion. It has inspired millions and aroused fear and revulsion in its enemies. It has sought to change the world for the better and in many important respects has done so. Yet socialism remains a paradox. Professing only to do good, great crimes against humanity have been committed in its name. Democratic and egalitarian in theory, it has been used to justify totalitarian dictatorship in practice. This dictionary offers a reliable, comprehensive introduction and guide to this contentious social movement and ideology, examining where it has succeeded and where it has failed. It traces the evolution of socialism from the early nineteenth century up to the present. Unlike other general works on the subject, it is primarily concerned with the democratic tradition of socialism and is careful to differentiate this tradition from those elements of socialism which later became communism. It contains 327 entries and many cross-references which cover not just thinkers, ideas and political parties, but also education, women, literature, and policies. With glossary, chronology, statistical appendix and bibliography.

Name: Historical Dictionary of United States-Latin American Relations

From the assertion of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to the Reagan Doctrine of the 1980s, the United States has presumed a position of political leadership and pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere. This has been made possible by two main factors: America's huge economy, which has made the U.S. the largest single commercial market and the biggest investor in Latin America, and America's military prowess, which has been convincingly demonstrated in victories in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the Spanish-American War (1898).
This volume concentrates on the history of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the nations of Latin America from the creation of the independent United States in the late eighteenth century up to the present. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, appendixes, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries involved, significant events, major crises, important figures, controversial issues, and doctrines and policies that have evolved. For scholars, historians, and students interested in the diplomacy of these two regions, the Historical Dictionary of United States-Latin American Relations is an essential reference.
