‘I Lived Hard and Fast but Good’: Colonel Boris Pash

Abstract

Who was Boris Pash? A Hoover collection gives a glimpse into his scarcely believable life: nemesis of Robert Oppenheimer, fervent anticommunist, and cold-blooded spy chief whose exploits may never be fully known. The author gratefully acknowledges the Hoover Institution Library & Archives as an essential resource in the development of these materials. The views expressed in this publication are entirely those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the fellows, staff, or Board of Overseers of the Hoover Institution. https://www.hoover.org/research/i-lived-hard-and-fast-good
