Paul W. Blackstock (c. 1913–14 August 1978) was a former US Army Intelligence officer who wrote books and articles on counterintelligence after leaving service.




Career


Blackstock worked for the US Army Intelligence during World War II, and later specialized in psychological warfare. In 1960 he became an associate professor at the University of South Carolina. He is credited with having first translated works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn from Russian to English.
As of January 1973, Blackstock had published four books and 20 articles.
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.
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."




Death


Paul W. Blackstock died on 14 August 1965, aged 65.
