"I had a front row seat in the planning of some of the most
interesting operations of the war," he says. "I consider my
experiences there were at least the equivalent of a second
PhD because I was associated with a whole group of social
scientists in different disciplines.
"Through this, I had the recization that we had practical
matters to consider in the social sciences, as wed as th.co
retical ones. And I learned the value of co-operative effort,
the value of getting work done on time, and the value of
ethciency in research.
"It helped me to see the relationship between to social
sciences and practical problems. I became more oriented
toward problem solving than I had been before."

and has taken him.to Mexico, Cuba,

-
After the war, Dr. Halperin worked with the United Nations
for a couple of years and then joined the faculty of Boston
University where he was involved in the establishment of an
Interdisciplinary department of Latin American studies.
During this period he visited Brazil twice, lecturing at the
University of Sao Paulo and serving as a consultant to the
state government of Sao Paulo. After his second visit, he was
decorated by the Brazilian government with the Order of the
Southern Cross.
It was then that chance interfered again, this time in a most
malicious way.
"My stay at Boston coincided with the most intense period
of McCarthyism and this raised problems for a great number
of peepto at the timo. In my own cn30, I was given the choice
of co-oporating with the Inquisition or, as it turned out, losing
my job.
"Among other disagreeable aspects of co-operating. It
would have turned me into an informer against people who,
as far as I know, had committed no crime. I just couldn't think
of facing my students with their knowledge that I was an
informer."
Leaving Boston University, he went to the National Unt-
versity of Mexico City where he remained for six years. While
working there, he did some consulting work for the Mexican
government, thereby gaining further practical experience
on the problems of underdevelopment in Latin America.
This experience fed directly to his next position - a three-
year appointment at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
Halperin explains:
"At that time, the period when Kruschev was trying to
loosen up some of the rigid controls of Stalin's dictatorship.
there was a desire at the Academy to have some western
expertise on Latin American developmental problems. In
other words, my Mexican experience was a direct prerequi-
sile for the Moscow Invitation.
"It's strange how, in retrospect, what seemed to be a
rather difficult choice in 1953 turned out to be very lucky.

on the contrary, can make you hearthier and more robust

Dr. Halpurin spent three years at the Academy and found
It to bo en extraordinary experience. "I wasn't there as a
tourist; neither was I. there as an outside researcher. I was
actually in the machine, with no permanent ties to it. I was
working in the factory, rather than just studying it."
Foto ence again intervened in his life, this time in the form
of the celebrated Latin American guarrilla leader, Che
Guevara.
"Late one night, there was a knock on my door and I
opened it and there stood Che with a couple of his Cuban
friends. He had been told about me by mutual friends in
Mexico and they suggested that, in view of the need for
competent educators and social scientists in Cuba, I might
be interested in accepting an invitation to teach at the Uni
-versity of Havana."
As it happened. Dr. Halperin was interested. He spent the
next six years in Cuba, and after leaving, produced a book
-
on the country The Rise and Decline of Fidel Castro: Ar
Essay in Contemporary History. It was published by the Uni-
versity of California Press and a second ection, in paper
back, has recently appeared. (Incidentally. Dr. Halberin's
published work spans 45 years and "several thousand
pages.")
As with the Moscow appointment, it was the fact that he
was freed of concerns about job secunty, since he had none.
which allowed him to accept Guevara's offer.
Although Cuba was "A very pleasant country," Dr. Hal-
perin found life there to be somewhat disconcerting since.
"as a highly-paid foreign expert, I lived high off the hog and
didn't share the austerity of the rest of the country.
"And It was troubling, you know, when neighbors would
knock on our door to see if we could spare a thimbleful of
salt or a tablespoon of cooking oil and there we were, sitting
with everything at our disposal"
And a further quirk of fate, naturally, brought him to Simon
Fraser in 1968. He'd met a Canadian while in Havana and one
dey, about a year later, he received a phone call from a niace
☐ called Burnaby." It was the same Canadian, inviting him to
participate in a seminar on Latin America, with "all expenses
paid."
When he received the invitation, in the spring of 1968, he
had already resigned his position in Havana and was planning
to return to the United States the following September.
"When the Invitation came, I thought. 'Two weeks? Why not?".
so I accepted and came up here and, like the man who came
to dinner, they couldn't get rid of me.
"I never dreamed I would end up in Canada, Three-quarters
of a century after my father left it, but I now feel thoroughly
assimilated to the Canadian environment." In fact, he's so well
assimilated that he is now listed in the Canadian edition of
Who's Who.
During his well-travelled life, Dr. Halperin has had the oppor
tunity to teach at a number of reputable istitutens in North
America, Europe and Latin America but he says that he's
"never been in a more congenial place than Simon FraseY,
never in my life.

Fortuno, or chance, has played a major role in Simon Fraser,
Political Science professor Dr. Maunce Halpern's nearly
seventy years of life.
It was chance that competed him to seek employment.
with the National University of Mexico. It was chance that
earned him a three-year post in Moscow. It was chance"
that led him to a teaching stint in Cuba. And it was chance
that brought him to Simon Fraser seven years ago.
In fact, fortune began wielding its capricious influence over
his to even before Dr. Halperin was born.
"I might have been tom in Canada," he says. "My father
sailed from Liverpool to the New World at the turn of the cen
tury, with Montreal as his destination. However, he decided
to move on to Boston."
This was a "rather fortunate circumstance over which I had
no control," since Montreal at the time was still a provincial
city while Boston was "a metropolis, a great centre of culture
and learning and all its splendid facilities were available to
"
me."
Among those facilities which he made use of were the
Boston Latin School - a secondary school which boasts
such luminaries as Benjamin Frankin and Ralph Waldo Emer
son among its alumni and Harvard University.
Hurcompleted his post-graduate work in Paris af the Sor
bohne which, at that time, was the most prestigious university
(in the world and "the impact it had on my way of life and
thinking was a permanent one."
While attending the Sorbonne, Dame Fortune stepped in
and "I was appointed to the faculty as a Reader in North
American Civilization. Even though I came from Harvard, the
level of competence and sophistication of the French stu
dents was much higher and I had to work very hard to keep
up with them."
After completing his doctorate. Dr. Halperin joined the
faculty at the University of Oklahoma and found that mid-
western state to be "Like another country. Soston and Paris
ware much closely related than were Boston and Oklahoma."
However, chance intervened to rescue him from what
could have been a number of indiferent years in a then smal
and remote university on the Amencan Prairies, turning them
into years spent in "an oasis of high culture."
Dr. Halperin explains:
"It was during the Depression and jobs were scarce..so
the university attracted a number of bright teachers and
resedichers whose first choice might not have been Okta-
hana.
"And when you have a group of people like that; in addition
to the opportunity of understanding and learning to appreciate
the virtues of micnia America, wed, it was something that
stayed with me for the rest of my lia:"

THE NEW REPUBLIC
10 MARCH 1973
Independence Entangled
The Rise and Decline of Fidel Castro
by Maurice Halperin
(University of Califórnia Press; $12.95)
At the end of a passage describing the
euphoric carly days of the Cubon Reys
olution, Maurice Halperin laments:
"Alas, it was dushnod to change.” In
effect, this attitude symbolizes his re-
tion and sessment of Castro and
Cuba, in this first volume of a two-part
study of the révolution from the fust
days of Fidchsmo to the present. A note
of frustration which occasionally marks
his narrative of the first five years of
the revolution undoubtedly comes from
his sense of the untultified promise of
the July 28th Movement. For a great
many Western intellectuals (including
Halperin), thus has been a characteristiç
reaction. In the first exuberant monthis,
it seemed as if Cuba might beconie the
first Socialist revolution to tisé spoi
taneously out, of, historical circumi-
stances, not led by a rigid party
structure, and the first to proclaim
"pyvus sociahsm." rother than the
Nrtuous novessities of work norms,
idevogical conformity and sacrifice.

Although the current volume only
covers the first five years of the rev-
olation: the author breaks into the
chruwlgy to keep the next years'
events in mind. Everything about the
revolution was in tiux as he sees it, but
at the same time Castro's bungling
bravado and venturism made sur-

Halperin's point of view, could be a
sadder setiation of thus devolution thaw**
the support Çebe kent to the 1965 Soviet
invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Halperin´s brà argument is that
Castro's "rise and dicine” must be
seen as en intentational event. For this
meson he wites guptarily about the
1
foreign poker of the revolution (the
aly pastries in the book show Castry
dùing his pºStrip to the Soviet Union).
If it is accurate to say that the revolu-
tion was pushed leftward and finally
into an alliance with the Soviet Union
by the inept and hostile policy of the
United States, then it is also true that
Cuba's tate has continued to depenḍ
upon the international struggle between
the US and the Soviet Union. While
Castro may have been committed to
Cuban nationalism and social reform at
home, he could, ironically, only achieve
these goals by means of an aggressive
foreign policy.
:

figure while Che Guevara figures hardly

revolution through the events whica
touched it from the outside, particularly
those which effected its ties to the Com

Sino-Soviet struggle, the world price
of sugar, the internal bureaucratic
struggle of the USSR, the changing.
American presidency, the role of the
Cubon Communist Party, the CIA, and
so on. Gathering his facts, primarily
from magazine and newspaper artides.
plus his own first-hand knowledge of
events, he picos fogether a fascinating
mading of Castro's speeches, policy

and rather indecisive attitude of the
revolutionary kadership toward artistic
and intellectuai liberty, for example, has
stemmed from Castro's need to balance
conflicting demands: for orthodoxy by
Culsan and Russion Communists, and
jor

intellectueix
Castro's dilemma haszalways been to
assert Cubaşı independence, and yet
retain alignment with the USSR. Per-
haps this conyodictory policy was
doomed, if se no other reason than
Cubs's "enovaxous & depointence upon

pinpoints. He made the economie sue.

absolute necessity, yet a necessity that
could only be met with outside help.
Castro's own impatience, inefficiency
and indecision made, matters worse.
From the early attempts to industrialize
to the abrupt and devastating decision
to produce a mammoth sugar crop in
1970, the Cuban economy, the author
argues, has continually sunk to lower
levels. The result is Castro's dependence.
upon the Soviet Union, an admission.
of failure.
Halperin's emphasis on foreign affairs
„makes good sense, but leaves little room
for discussion of the internal dynamics
of the revolution and of the impact of
social reforms on the population. It
makes what Castro said and did; and
the revolution itself, explicable only in
a sort of code of international affairs.
However, given the volatile nature of
Cuban politics and the Cold War, it
still seems too early to write off the
revolution.

The Rise and Decline of Fidel Castro
Maurice Halperin
The author of this unusual book was twice
forced out of teaching positions at American
universities because of his political beliefs. He
spent
three years on the faculty of the USSR
Academy of Sciences and five years, from
1962 to 1968, at the University of Havana.
He went to Cuba in 1962 on the invitation of
Che Guevara, who had visited him in Mos-
cow, and there gathered the materials for this.
intimate portrait of the Castro regime.
Mr. Halperin concentrates his attention on
Castro's foreign policy, placing it in the con-
text of domestic policy and conditions. Ob
viously skilled in reading the new socialist
rhetoric, Professor Halperin guides the reader
through the maze of documents, speeches,
and propaganda which constitute the record
of the Castro regime during the sensational
events involving Kennedy, Khrushchev, mis-
siles, and the CIA. Although the main narra-
tive is concerned with the years 1959-1964–
primarily the period of the rise of Fidel Castro
-it contains digressions into events of the
following years when, according to the auth-
or, Castro's great utopian dreams turned into
nightmares. A second volume, carrying the
story down to the present, is in preparation.
Maurice Halperin is Professor of Political
Science at Simon Fraser University, Van-
couver, B.C.
"A brilliant contribution to the literature
on contemporary Cuba and perhaps even
more a remarkable series of insights into the
new politics of mass society." ·

biographic data and information concerning his activities on behalf of
Soviet Intelligence.
2.
We would like you to explore with KKCOWBELL the possibi'-
lity of sending one of his officers here to debrief HALPERIN along the
lines of the Milton SCHWARTZ case. The fact that he has been unwilling
to tell us anything and is yet now anti-Soviet indicates that a KKCOLLIER
officer might have much better entree. Give KKCOWBELL as much of
the attached information as he seems to need to make a decision.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT:
"American Defectors to the USSR"
1. The attached material was part of a soft file entitled
"American Defectors to the USSR.", which was set up by SR/6
(Support) around 1960 and maintained by various SR components
until ca. 1963. The compilations were derived from a variety
of sources, and contain both classified and overt data.
2. In the fall of 1966, the files were turned over to CI
Staff. In most instances, basic information was then abstracted
for the US Defector Machine Program. In all instances in which
the material was unique, or represented a valuable collation effort,
it has been incorporated into the appropriate 201 file, along with
a copy of this memorandum.
3. It is suggested that any dissemination of this data should
be coordinated with SB Division and with CI Staff (CI/MRO), in
view of the frequently inadequate sourcing and of the fact that
disseminations have already been made through the US Defector
Machine Program.

the two new organizations founded during a Mescos conference of communist
leaders: office for permanent studies and cooperation with Latin American

Cuba, and to be located in Feiping. This presumably never happened.) (SRS,

July 1962. Their passports would have expired, requiring issuance of
new ones. (Only passports actually issued not renewed.- after September
1959 had the new three-year validity instead of the old two-year validity,
according to Central Processing.) We have no record of issue of new ones,
but it seems to have been done, because at the and of 1962 Halperin spoke of
keeping his US citizenship after moving to Cuba.
1 October 1962. They moved to Cuba. He was already working in a textile
factory and would start teaching at Havandiniversity on 9 October. (SRS; copy
of a gled-to-be-back, pro-Ciban propaganda-like latter personal letter written
by Halperia). They got a big welcome in Cuba because they came from Moscow,
but it soon wore off and the Cubans considered him cold and pedantic. (SRS,
DEA-62064, 13 January 1964) ·
21 January 1963. Elizabeth Mora (long-time consunist) returned to "exico
from a women's congress in Havana, where she had seen the Halperins. They
had a mansion and servants because of his "important job," but he had aged
greatly, looked old, had to do without such amenities as underwear and socks,
was rationed to one tube of toothpaste every six months, etc. Wife said it
was Soviet treatment that had broken him, not Cuban. They intended to stay
in Cuba because of the friendlier climate and his feelin: more useful there.
She wanted to become a Cuban citizen so that she could visit her son and his
family in exico, but he planned to keep his US citizenship. (SHS, DRA-34390,

The called on the US Emb for renewal of his American passport. (Reproduction
of article is in with Fartin and Mitchell material in Kay Grady's BA file.)
Renewal was apparently being delayed, possibly beograd of renewed attempts
within the US Govt to deny passports to commie sympathizers.
5 Sept 60. The same NNT article reported just above said that he
had just asailed a State Department report that he was working as an
advisor to the Sov Govt on Latin American affairs-Said he was professor

1945-58. "There is nothing mysterious or dubious about my being in Moscow.
Since my arrival I have filed two US income tax returns, listing my salary

ment and my Soviet visa espire in July 1961."

ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES
1. Attached is a copy of DBA 34398, dated 26 February
1963, concerning Maurice Halperin and his activity in Cuba.
2. The Station's attention is drawn to page two which
states that Subject's wife hopes to obtain Cuban citizenship
so that she can come to Mexico to see her son and grandchildren.
On the same page, there is an interesting, yet vague, reference
to 
his treatment in the USSR.
3. Headquarters is still most interested in Subject,
and the Station should be alert to any information it can gather
on HALPERIN, or on his wife's travel to Mexico, which might
be used for KUDESK or KUWOLF purposes.

1. A source of this office has just advised us that he received
a Christmas card (1962) from Maurice Halperin on which the return address
was given as: "Apt C-2, 
Calle 12, no 103, Miramar, Habana, Cubs. The
only message on the 
card was one of Christras greetings. Halperin and
our source have known 
each other for a number of years and they always
exchange Christmas cards. 
This is the first one Halperin has sent with
a Cuban address on 
it. The last time that our source saw Halperin was
in Moscow when he (the 
former) was visiting in the USSR during August-
September 1961 as part of an 
official US delegation.
2.
In view of Halperin's past activities and associations,
making this 
information 
known to you. Our source comments that Halperin
alvays seems 
to show up wherever there is some sort of activity going on.
