“The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance” podcast takes listeners on a tour of the Cold War’s most secretive battlefields. It details the various ways spies, intelligence agencies, military and security services on both sides of the Iron Curtain “played” the Cold War and it finds that the conflict was very much a global and, at times, a very “hot” Cold War. This award-winning podcast takes recently declassified documents and reveals that not every alliance was sacred, that military assistance was an ‘export commodity’, and that fake news was an old tool from the Cold War spy kit.
