Collection-level Scope and Content Note

From the Collection:

Comprised mostly of research files generated for his book "The FBI-KGB War," the Robert J. Lamphere Papers document the research activities of Robert J. Lamphere, who was an FBI special agent from 1941 to 1955. Correspondence in this collection includes a large number of letters from Gary Kern, Sam Papich, and Fred Wrixon and a small number of letters from J. Edgar Hoover, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Edward Teller. Drafts of Lamphere's "The FBI-KGB War" are retained, together with the English edition and the second edition of that work. Research files on the Rosenberg case and the Venona case are particularly extensive. The clippings series has several articles published by Lamphere. This collection is made up of 4 boxes (6.5 linear feet of material). Taken together, the Lamphere Papers provide valuable insights into the career of a noted FBI agent during the early years of the Cold War.
