The history of the CIA's clandestine short-wave radio broadcasts to Eastern Europe and the USSR during the early Cold War is explored in-depth in this publication, which is being published for the first time. The book delves into the gray broadcasting of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty in Munich, the clandestine or black radio broadcasts from Radio Nacional de Espana in Madrid to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine, transmissions to Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Ukraine, and the USSR from a secret site near Athens, and broadcasts to Byelorussia and Slovakia. CIA and other intelligence service agents faced numerous challenges, including counterespionage, kidnapping, assassination, arrest, and imprisonment, as they infiltrated behind the Iron Curtain through dangerous air drops and boat landings. Excerpts from broadcasts taken from monitoring reports of Eastern Europe intelligence agencies are included in the book.
