Description
"Espionage and covert operations are notoriously difficult to study," writes Mark Kramer in his introduction to Spies: A Batch from Journal of Cold War Studies. Historically, intelligence agencies the world over have strived to keep their operations confidential; however, the gradual release of crucial information about Cold War-era foreign intelligence activities presents new and exciting opportunities for scholars. The articles in this Batch serve as a step toward filling important historical gaps. The author-scholars explore such topics as Ian Fleming, James Bond, and the CIA; Soviet counterintelligence; Austrian informants, the Rosenberg Ring and nuclear espionage; and MI5-FBI relations. Dig in.
