Description
Intelligence in the Cold War: What Difference Did It Make? The Cold War was marked by an intense struggle for intelligence between the two superpowers. Yet, despite its significance, the question remains unanswered: did it help to contain the conflict or fuel it? This book brings together seven writers to examine the role of intelligence in the Cold War, covering topics such as warning systems, threat assessment, military balances, and international activities. The authors' conclusions offer valuable insights into the effectiveness of large-scale intelligence bureaucracies and their impact on modern governments. Written by experts in the field, this book is essential reading for those interested in understanding the complexities of intelligence and its role in international relations.
