- **Event Description**: Join us for an evening with Stephen Long discussing his book, A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit.About this EventJoin us for an evening with Stephen Long discussing his book which takes an international look at this crucial flashpoint and incorporate the motives and actions of all three major actors - the western alliance, the Communist powers, and the Albanian rebels themselves.In June 1949, the US and British governments secretly agreed to mount a joint covert action operation to overthrow the communist government in Albania. The top-secret plan would use exiled dissidents to conduct subversive intelligence, paramilitary and propaganda operations to foment an uprising against Albania's authoritarian ruler Enver Hoxha.The Albanian operation is a vital but misunderstood part of Cold War history. A Rich Harvest of Bitter Fruit explains the west's first secret attempt to subvert a communist state behind the iron curtain - this was the test case of anti-communist covert action where the west served its apprenticeship before rolling out this capability on a global scale.Stephen Long received a PhD in US Foreign Policy and Intelligence from the University of Birmingham in the UK. He has subsequently taught on US foreign policy, the Anglo-American intelligence services, international relations, Cold War history and US-Latin American relations at Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, Canterbury Christ Church, and in his present position at Xi’an-Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou, China.L
