David Wise (born 1930) is an American journalist and author who worked for the ''New York Herald-Tribune'' in the 1950s and 1960s, and published a series of non-fiction books on espionage and US politics as well as several spy novels.〔Random House, (David Wise )〕 His book ''The Politics of Lying: Government Deception, Secrecy, and Power'' (1973) won the George Polk Award (Book category, 1973), and the George Orwell Award (1975). ==Career== Wise joined the ''New York Herald-Tribune'' in 1951, and became the paper's White House correspondent in 1960. He was chief of the paper's Washington bureau from 1963 to 1966.〔''SoHo Journal'', (Author David Wise To Discusses New Book At AFIO Luncheon )〕 In 1970–71 he was a Fellow of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., and in 1977–79, he lectured in political science at the University of California at Santa Barbara.〔 He was later a commentator on intelligence issues for CNN for six years.〔 Beginning in 1962 with an examination of the Lockheed U-2, Wise published a series of non-fiction books (the first three with Thomas B. Ross). Their book ''Invisible Government'' (1964), exposed the role of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in foreign policy. This included CIA coups in Guatemala (Operation PBSUCCESS) and Iran (Operation Ajax) and the Bay of Pigs Invasion. It also revealed the CIA's attempts to overthrow President Sukarno in Indonesia and the covert operations taking place in Laos and Vietnam. The CIA considered buying up the entire printing of ''Invisible Government'' but this idea was rejected when Random House pointed out that if this happened they would have to print a second edition. A confidential CIA review of ''Invisible Government'', declassified in 1995, declared that "In Great Britain, which is second to none in its devotion to liberty, there exists an Official Secrets Act under which the authors would have been tried and sentenced to prison. … That much of this material has been printed before does not reduce the value to the Soviets of having it gathered in one volume under such genuine American auspices."〔Charles E. Valpey, Central Intelligence Agency, (The Invisible Government by David Wise and Thomas B. Ross. Book review by Charles E. Valpey ), undated, released 18 September 1995〕 Wise's book ''The Politics of Lying: Government Deception, Secrecy, and Power'' (1973) won the George Polk Award (Book category, 1973), and the George Orwell Award (1975). Later works include ''Cassidy's Run: The Secret Spy War Over Nerve Gas'' (2000) on Operation Shocker, and ''Spy: The Inside Story of How the FBI's Robert Hanssen Betrayed America'', (2002), on Robert Hanssen. Wise also published several novels, including ''Spectrum'' (1981), based on the 1965 The Apollo Affair. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Wise (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
