Jeffrey Fuller
Summary
Jeffrey Fuller (1917–1970) worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) from 1948 to 1966 and also served in the U.S. Army during World War II. At the ACLU, Fuller was responsible for membership development and fundraising and also edited their monthly newsletter Civil Liberties.
Jeffrey Eastman Fuller was born on March 19, 1917, to Walter Fuller and Crystal Eastman, a cofounder of the ACLU. Both died when he was 10. He graduated from Harvard University in 1938 with an A.B. degree in Slavic Languages, History and Literature. He also studied radio and television production at New York University from 1940 to 1941.
Following graduation, Fuller was self-employed as a music dealer specialized in collector-item records and also worked as a guide at the 1939 World's Fair in New York, as assistant radio editor at the New York Post from 1939 to 1940, and as the Public Relations Assistant for the Norris-LaGuardia Independent Citizens Committee for Roosevelt and Wallace in October and November 1940.
In January 1941, Fuller joined the U.S. Army, serving in an MP battalion and at infantry regimental headquarters. He was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in October 1942 and served as aide-de-camp to Major General D. H. Connolly, the commanding general at the Persian Gulf Command, traveling extensively with the general and translating Russian and French for him. He served in this capacity until May 1943.
Next, Fuller became Russian liaison officer and civilian personnel officer in Qazvin, Iran, where he worked daily with the Russian command. He returned to the United States in October 1944 for additional training, studying the theory and practice of military government and Japanese language, history and culture at the School of Military Government in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Civil Affairs Training School at the University of Chicago.
However, his next post continued to utilize his expertise in Russian. From May 1945 to March 1946, Fuller was an OSS field operative, serving in the Research and Analysis Branch of the U.
