Publisher's Synopsis
Over the last ten years there has been a growing appreciation of Britain's central position in the development of the early Cold War and a range of studies have focused on the diplomatic nature of British policy. This new textbook examines the key themes of intelligence and strategy, based upon documentary sources, and offers an insight into Britain's post-war clandestine activities.;Topics covered include the defection of Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess; the massive programme of "black" propaganda conducted by a secret department of the Foreign Office in co-operation with the BBC; and plans for a British-led Euro-African "Third Force" to rival the Soviet and American blocs.
