This book offers the first account of the foundation, organisation
and activities of the NATO Information Service (NATIS) during the
Cold War. During the Cold War, NATIS was pivotal in bringing
national delegations together to discuss their security,
information and intelligence concerns and, when appropriate or
possible, to devise a common response to the 'Communist threat'. At
the same time, NATIS liaised with bodies like the Atlantic
Institute and the Bilderberg group in the attempt to promote a
coordinated western response. The NATO archive material also shows
that NATIS carried out its own information and intelligence
activities. Propaganda and Intelligence in the Cold War provides
the first sustained study of the history of NATIS throughout the
Cold War. Examining the role of NATIS as a forum for the exchange
of ideas and techniques about how to develop and run propaganda
programmes, this book presents a sophisticated understanding of the
extent to which national information agencies collaborated. By
focusing on the degree of cooperation on cultural and information
activities, this analysis of NATIS also contributes to the history
of NATO as a political alliance and reminds us that NATO was - and
still is - primarily a political organisation. This book will be of
much interest to students of NATO, Cold War studies, intelligence
studies, and IR in general.
