The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance is a podcast that goes behind the scenes of the Cold War. We unveil how the ‘East’ and the ‘West’ struggled for dominance and find that, in fact, the Cold War was a very ‘hot’ and global conflict.
Thanks to recently declassified and neglected documents, we shed new light on the most secretive aspects of the global Cold War – revealing that not every alliance was sacred, that military assistance was an ‘export commodity’, and that superpowers and small states were equally eager to use secret intelligence to achieve their own goals.
What is it like to simultaneously spy for multiple intelligence agencies? Why is a desert-based fishing company not a great cover story? Why did Indonesian fighter pilots fail their military training in Czechoslovakia? And how was ‘fake news’ used in India during the Cold War?
For these, and many other stories, listen to the Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance Podcast – starting on July 1st 2020
