Paul W. Blackstock (???? - 1979) was a former US Army Intelligence officer who, after leaving service wrote many books and articles on counterintelligence.[1][2]

Career

Blackstock worked for US Army Intelligence and specialized in psychological warfare. He then became an associate professor at the University of South Carolina.[1][3]

As of January 1973, Blackstock had published four books and 20 articles.[2]

A book review by the New York Times of The Strategy of Subversion (1965) said that author could have "written a briefer, modern handbook along the lines of Machiavelli's The Prince" instead of the "somewhat discursive" and "redundantly" (long) text." The book criticizes the CIA for its role in the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1961.[3]

A book review by the CIA stated that The Secret Road to World War Two (1969) had "grave defects" resulting from the author's being "insufficiently grounded in intelligence, or insufficiently critical, to make discriminating judgments about his sources."[4]

Death

Paul W. Blackstock died in 1979.[1]
