Opis

At the height of the Cold War, as part of an effort to weaken the Soviet Union, the United States government recruited Russian exiles in the hope that they would be a powerful weapon in the American secret war. The CIA directed these uprooted citizens to carry out propaganda, espionage, and subversion operations, but with unpredictable outcomes.

Recenzje

Tromly's book...will remain an essential guide to the murky world of covert operations, anti-Soviet plots, and propaganda in the early Cold War.
