About the Author Sean N.
Kalic explains the ideological tenets that fueled the distrust and "the need to know" between the two adversarial countries, supplies a complete history of the technological means used to collect intelligence throughout the Cold War and into the more recent post-Cold War years, and documents how a mutual desire to have the upper hand resulted in both sides employing diverse and creative Espionage methods.
Well-known Cold War historian Sean N.
The easily accessible narrative covers the Cold War period From 1945 to 1989 as well as the post-Cold War era, enabling readers to gain an understanding of how the spies and elaborate Espionage operations fit within the greater context of the national security concerns of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Covering far more than the United States and Soviet Union\'s use of human spies, this book examines the advanced technological means by which the two nations\' intelligence agencies worked to ensure that they had an accurate understanding of the enemy.
Therefore, as the Cold War period developed and technology advanced, the mutual goal to maintain up-to-date intelligence mandated that the process by which the "game" was played encompass an ever-wider range of intelligence gathering means.
Each nation needed to be aware of and prepared to counter the capabilities of their primary nemesis.
