"...behind the exterior (of Krushchev) lay a shrewd native intelligence, an agile mind, drive, ambition, and ruthlessness." --From Krushchev--A Personality Sketch, 1961Khrushchev--A Personality Sketch (1961), is a psychoanalytical profile of Soviet statesman Khrushchev by the CIA on the request of President John F. Kennedy as preparation for his 1961 Vienna Summit with Khrushchev. In this profile of Khrushchev--who had succeeded Joseph Stalin in 1953 as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union--he is described as "a person with little capacity for detecting nuances and subtleties. He is a man of action and decision when he can see issues clearly, as black or white, but becomes confused and hostile when confronted by shades of grey." Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971) was responsible for the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union, for backing the early Soviet space program, and for a foreign policy of "peaceful coexistence" with the West. The aftermath of the Cuban missile crisis and the Sino-Soviet split, however, caused a coup against Khrushchev, who "retired" from power in 1964. This psychological profile of Khrushchev is one of many prepared by the CIA of foreign leaders, such as Adolf Hitler, and Chinese leaders Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping (also available from Cosimo Classics).

This manual, the infamous "KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation", dated July 1963, is the source of much of the material in the second manual. KUBARK was a U. S. Central Intelligence Agency cryptonym for the CIA itself. The cryptonym KUBARK appears in the title of a 1963 CIA document KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation which describes interrogation techniques, including, among other things, "coercive counterintelligence interrogation of resistant sources". This is the oldest manual, and describes the use of abusive techniques, as exemplified by two references to the use of electric shock, in addition to use of threats and fear, sensory deprivation, and isolation.
