This website looks beyond the American post-Cold War consensus that the 'truth' about controversial early Cold War spy cases has been fully explored and 'definitively' proven. It returns to basics, re-examining the documentary evidence. No definitive proof of guilt or innocence here; what you will find instead is careful documentary cross-checking of all available evidence—old and new—to help you to judge for yourself whether these cases should still be considered 'closed' in the face of many discrepancies.
