Intelligence was a major part of the Cold War, waged by both sides
with an almost warlike intensity. Yet the question 'What difference
did it all make?' remains unanswered. Did it help to contain the
Cold War, or fuel it and keep it going? Did it make it hotter or
colder? Did these large intelligence bureaucracies tell truth to
power, or give their governments what they expected to hear? These
questions have not previously been addressed systematically, and
seven writers tackle them here on Cold War aspects that include
intelligence as warning, threat assessment, assessing military
balances, Third World activities, and providing reassurance. Their
conclusions are as relevant to understanding what governments can
expect from their big, secret organizations today as they are to
those of historians analysing the Cold War motivations of East and
West. This book is valuable not only for intelligence,
international relations and Cold War specialists but also for all
those concerned with intelligence's modern cost-effectiveness and
accountability. This book was published as a special issue of
Intelligence and National Security.
