[255]-258) and index The arrival of an imperfect peace and the rise of the silent option -- Italy 1947-1948: securing a European strongpoint -- On to the offensive -- OPC intervention in Albania: an experiment in offensive covert warfare -- Erring on the side of activism: Eisenhower and the era of preventive covert warfare -- A tale of three campaigns: landmarks in the heyday of covert action -- Fluctuating fortunes -- A banquet of consequences: covert action in Cuba and the Caribbean 1960-1963 Born out of the ashes of World War II, the covert action arm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was created to counter the challenge posed by the Soviet Union and its allies and bolster American interests worldwide. It evolved rapidly into an eclectic, well-resourced organization whose activities provided a substitute for overt military action and afforded essential backup when the Cold War turned hot in Korea and Vietnam. This comprehensive examination of a still controversial subject sheds valuable new light on the undercover operations mounted by the CIA during the Cold War. Using a wide range of unpublished government records and documents, James Callanan traces the growth of the agency chronologically as it forged a covert action mission that sought to advance US foreign and defense policy in all corners of the globe. Offering a powerful perspective on a pivotal period in American history, "Covert Action in the Cold War" makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of global politics during the Cold War |

It evolved rapidly into an eclectic, well-resourced organization whose activities provided a substitute for overt military action and afforded essential backup when the Cold War turned hot in Korea and Vietnam. This comprehensive examination of a still controversial subject sheds valuable new light on the undercover operations mounted by the CIA during the Cold War. Using a wide range of unpublished government records and documents, James Callanan traces the growth of the agency chronologically as it forged a covert action mission that sought to advance US foreign and defense policy in all corners of the globe. Offering a powerful perspective on a pivotal period in American history, "Covert Action in the Cold War" makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of global politics during the Cold War USA / CIA. swd United States / Central Intelligence Agency fast Cold War (1945-1989) fast United States / Central Intelligence Agency / History United States Central Intelligence Agency History USA Central Intelligence Agency (DE-588)1021698-4 gnd rswk-swf 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1945-1965 gnd rswk-swf TRUE CRIME / Espionage bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Intelligence bisacsh Innere Sicherheit swd Ost-West-Konflikt swd Spionage swd Espionage, American fast National security fast Geschichte Cold War Espionage, American History 20th century National security United States History 20th century Innere Sicherheit (DE-588)4127888-4 gnd rswk-swf Geheimdienst (DE-588)4019737-2 gnd rswk-swf Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Geheimdienst (DE-588)4019737-2 s Innere Sicherheit (DE-588)4127888-4 s Ost-West-Konflikt (DE-588)4075770-5 s Geschichte 1945-1965 z 1\p DE-604 USA Central Intelligence Agency (DE-588)1021698-4 b 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 1-84511-882-0 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-84511-882-2 International library of twentieth century history 21 (DE-604)BV046172421 21 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=318501 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
