The following is a book written by the History Staff, Center for the Study of Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, in 1993. Originally classified SECRET, the book was later released via the FOIA to another requester at an unknown date. A Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) request was filed by The Black Vault in May of 2019, and the document was re-released with slightly less redactions in June of 2022. The document is available below: Document Archive Richard Helms As Director Of Central Intelligence 1966-1973, by Robert M. Hathaway and Russell Jack Smith [230 Pages, 44MB]

After a successful Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, new details have emerged about the legal case of Leslie G. Kinney v. Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA has recently released several documents related to this case, revealing some insights into the proceedings and the agency’s response. The released documents include one that could be fully disclosed, while seven others were partially redacted based on various FOIA exemptions. These exemptions, specifically (b)(3), (b)(5), and (b)(6), pertain to information exempt from disclosure by statute, notably under the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949 and the National Security Act of 1947. The case…

Walther Gerlach was a prominent German physicist, born on August 1, 1889, in Biebrich, Germany. He is best known for his work on quantum theory, particularly the Stern–Gerlach experiment, which he conducted with Otto Stern in 1922. This pivotal experiment demonstrated the quantized nature of atomic magnetic moments and provided crucial empirical evidence supporting the quantum theory. Gerlach’s findings significantly advanced the understanding of quantum mechanics, specifically the concept of electron spin, which has foundational implications in the field of quantum physics. Gerlach’s career was marked by his roles in both academia and research. After obtaining his doctorate in 1912,…
